PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Hackensack, NJ, United States, 2009/11/17 - Master Bond’s no-run, USP Class VI certified medical adhesive, provides a precise and clean solution for bonding vertical surfaces.

Master Bond’s newly developed EP42HT 2ND2 has a paste like consistency and facilitates the adhesive’s application when bonding vertical surfaces. This no-run two part epoxy fully complies with the testing requirements for USP Class VI biocompatibility. EP42HT 2ND2 cures readily at ambient temperatures and exhibits superior thermal stability for service up to 450°F. It forms high strength bonds that are unaffected by sterilization processes such as radiation, ethylene oxide, chemical sterilants and steam along with outstanding resistance to inorganic and organic acids, alkalis and organic solvents.

The cured biocompatible epoxy adhesive is an excellent electrical insulator with a volume resistivity greater than >1014 ohm-cm. While EP42HT 2ND2 is a superior adhesive, sealant and coating, it is also castable to thicknesses exceeding 2-3 inches. A post cure of 200-266°F for 2-3 hours enhances physical properties including heat resistance. As a no drip formulation EP42HT 2ND2 provides a precise and clean bonding solution for the vertical surface set ups often found in medical assemblies.
