The Master Bond EP17HT-3 does not require mixing, and can be cured in sections up to 6.35mm thick.
The adhesive provides volume resistivity greater than 1014 ohm-cm, for electrical insulation and chemical resistance characteristics. It is resistant to water, oil and most organic solvents.
The Master Bond EP17HT-3 epoxy adhesive features a Shore D hardness that exceeds 85 and a tensile lap shear of 2100 psi. It features a service operating temperature range of -51 to +204ºC.
The adhesive is available in a paste version, called EP17HT-3ND, and a slightly toughened variant called Supreme 17HT-3 for bonding dissimilar substrates and applications subject to thermal cycling.
