Structural Epoxies

Structural epoxies are adhesives designed to transfer mechanical loads between bonded parts. They are used when a joint must withstand forces such as pulling, sliding, vibration, impact, or repeated loading throughout its service life. They can replace or supplement screws, rivets, and welds, particularly when joining different materials or when drilling holes would weaken the assembly. How structural epoxies work An epoxy resin reacts with a hardener to form a…

Epoxy Adhesives Engineered to Withstand Medical Device Sterilization

Reusable Medical Devices such as endoscopes, ultrasound probes, surgical instruments, catheters, imaging equipment, and diagnostic sensors must perform reliably in environments that are demanding both mechanically and chemically. One of the most challenging requirements is repeated cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. The adhesive holding a lens, sensor, cable, housing, transducer, or electronic assembly together may be exposed hundreds—or potentially thousands—of times to elevated temperatures, moisture, aggressive disinfectants, or sterilizing agents. Selecting…

The Benefits of Cationic Cure Epoxy Adhesives: High Performance for Demanding Applications

As industries continue to demand adhesives that deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and long-term durability, cationic cure epoxy adhesives have become an increasingly attractive solution. Unlike conventional epoxy systems that rely on amine hardeners, cationic cure epoxies polymerize through a photo-initiated or thermally initiated cationic reaction. This unique curing mechanism offers several advantages, including lower shrinkage, excellent adhesion, superior chemical resistance, and the ability to cure in challenging environments. From electronics…

ISO 10993 Adhesives: Understanding Biocompatibility Requirements for Medical Device Bonding

Medical device manufacturers face strict regulatory requirements when selecting materials for products that come into direct or indirect contact with the human body. Among the most important considerations is biocompatibility, which helps ensure that materials perform safely without causing harmful biological responses. For adhesives used in medical devices, compliance with ISO 10993 is often a critical requirement. Whether bonding catheters, wearable sensors, diagnostic equipment, or implantable components, understanding ISO 10993…
