About Epoxy Adhesives

Epoxy adhesives are chemical compounds for joining components. They require clean surfaces compatible with the adhesive. Epoxy resins exhibit high strength and low shrinkage during cure. Epoxy adhesives are widely used for their toughness and resistance to chemical and environmental damage. While most epoxies are two-part adhesives cured at room temperature, some thermally cured or thermoset one-part epoxies systems are available. Depending on the formulation, epoxy resins are used as potting agents, resin binders in fiberglass construction, electrical conductors and various structural bonding applications.

Products & Services Related to Epoxy Adhesives

Conductive Adhesives and Compounds

Conductive adhesives and compounds provide an electrically and/or thermally conductive path between components.

Conformal Coatings

Conformal coatings encapsulate circuit boards and their electronic components in order to prevent the ingress of moisture, fungus, dust and other environmental contaminants.

Gel Elastomers

Gel elastomers are highly viscoelastic polymer gel materials that have excellent shock absorption and damping characteristics. They are available in a variety of material types and grades.

Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) and Contact Adhesives

Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) and contact adhesives adhere to most surfaces with very slight pressure. They are available in solvent and latex or water-based forms.

Silicone Adhesives and Sealants

Silicone adhesives and sealants have a high degree of flexibility and a very high temperature resistance (up to 600° F), but lack the strength of other epoxy or acrylic resins.

Thermoplastics and Thermoplastic Materials

Thermoplastics and thermoplastic materials soften when heated and harden when cooled. They can withstand many heating and cooling cycles and are often suitable for recycling.

Thermosets and Thermoset Materials

Thermosets and thermoset materials are crosslinked polymeric resins that are cured or set using heat or heat and pressure. They generally have a higher resistance to heat than thermoplastics.
