A Master Bond product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Jun 29, 2006

A two component formulation with a non-critical two-to-one mix ratio is a tough, optically clear, low viscosity epoxy compound for high performance casting, coating, bonding and sealing.

Master Bond has successfully introduced EP37-3, a new tough, optically clear, low viscosity epoxy compound for high performance casting, coating, bonding and sealing.

EP37-3 is a two component formulation with a non-critical two-to-one mix ratio, weight or volume.

This low viscosity epoxy resin based composition cures readily at ambient or more quickly at elevated temperatures.

The curing reaction generates very little heat, and EP37-3 epoxy system can be used to prepare large volume castings as well as small volume potting and encapsulations.

The cured epoxy compound exhibits high optical clarity and is quite tough with attractive physical strength properties.

The EP37-3 can be employed over the impressively wide temperature range of -80degF to 250degF.

It is 100% reactive and does not contain any volatiles.

EP37-3 has excellent dimensional stability and exceptionally low shrinkage while curing.

The EP37-3 epoxy resin system offers superior adhesion to both metallic and nonmetallic substrates.

The cured material features excellent long term resistance to water, salts, many acids and bases as well as various organic solvents.

It is an excellent choice for coating and bonding applications where toughness, optical clarity and serviceability over a wide temperature range are required.

Also its low exotherm while curing makes it ideal for larger castings.

It is available in pints, quarts, gallons, 5 gallon pails.
