Optically clear epoxy offers superior dimensional stability
 

Optically clear epoxy offers superior dimensional stability

Master Bond's newly developed EP30LV-1 is a low-viscosity, optically clear epoxy for general-purpose bonding, coating, sealing and casting. Linear shrinkage after cure is an exceptionally low 0.0003inches/inch. Its dimensional stability and low shrinkage make it a useful optical epoxy. Master Bond EP30LV-1 forms powerful bonds with both similar and dissimilar materials including metals, glass, ceramics, wood, vulcanised rubbers and many plastics. These high-strength and rigid bonds are highly resistant to chemicals including oil, water and most organic solvents, as well as cold sterilants, ETO and gamma radiation. The two-part epoxy compound is formulated to cure at room temperatures and the cured adhesive is an electrical insulator.
 
Master Bond Polymer System EP30LV-1 also offers easy application; the adhesive spreads readily and only contact pressure is required for curing. EP30LV-1 is suitable for use in optical, electronic, electrical, computer, metalworking, appliance, automotive and chemical industries. It is especially recommended where low viscosity is required for ease of application and bonded assemblies must exhibit superior dimensional stability.
