Low Expansion Adhesives

Low expansion refers to a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE)—the amount a cured material expands or contracts as its temperature changes. CTE is commonly reported in parts per million per degree Celsius (ppm/°C). Specialty low-expansion epoxies can have published values around 9–18 ppm/°C, depending on the formulation and measurement conditions. Low-expansion epoxies help maintain dimensional stability in aerospace and defense assemblies exposed to temperature changes. They are particularly useful…

Understanding Thermal Conductivity Test Methods for Epoxy Adhesives

Understanding Thermal Conductivity Test Methods for Epoxy Adhesives As electronic devices become smaller, faster, and more powerful, managing heat has become an increasingly important design consideration. Excessive heat can reduce component performance, accelerate material degradation, and ultimately shorten the service life of electronic assemblies. For this reason, thermally conductive epoxy adhesives, potting compounds, encapsulants, and gap-filling materials are widely used to help transfer heat away from sensitive components. One of…

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…

Understanding Adhesive Strength: Key Mechanical Properties and What They Mean

When selecting an adhesive for an industrial, medical, or electronic assembly, understanding adhesive strength properties is critical. Different applications place different types of stress on a bonded joint, and no single strength measurement can fully characterize an adhesive’s performance. Engineers rely on several mechanical test methods to evaluate how an adhesive will perform under real-world conditions. Among the most commonly referenced adhesive properties are lap shear strength, tensile strength, die…
