Strength Properties of Epoxy Compounds

Designing the strongest possible bonded joints is an important but difficult task for engineers. Joining substrates in complex assemblies can be challenging. Engineers are faced with numerous concerns including appearance, reduced corrosion, vibration, sound dampening, lightweighting, adhering dissimilar substrates, electrical insulation, heat dissipation and other factors. Additionally a special emphasis must be placed on assembly costs.

Advanced formulations feature outstanding resistance to compressive forces. Products are designed for service in structural bonding applications. Specific grades offer compressive strengths as high as 20,000-25,000 psi at room temperature.

Special Master Bond one and two component epoxy systems offer outstanding flexural strength properties. Formulations are designed to provide high performance and excellent adhesion to similar and dissimilar substrates. Additionally, they feature superior thermal stability, exceptional chemical resistance and convenient cure schedules.

Master Bond has developed a wide variety of one and two component high peel strength adhesives for challenging bonding applications. Peel strength can be described as a material's ability to resist forces that can pull or peel it apart at a predetermined angle and rate.

Master Bond offers a range of one and two part epoxies with exceptionally high shear strength properties. These compounds can withstand exposure to many chemicals, resist high and low temperatures and have superior gap filling capabilities.

Superior tensile strength adhesives from Master Bond are employed in many critical bonding applications. These compounds feature high reliability and dependability even upon exposure to hostile environmental conditions. Designed for easy application, both single and two component products are available for use.
