Newly Tested NASA Outgassing Products

What is NASA Outgassing? Outgassing is the measure of the level of residual low molecular weight species (including water if the material is not conditioned in a low moisture environment prior to testing) that can be evolved at high temperatures. NASA outgassing has a specific set of standards to meet demanding applications. What are NASA Outgassing Standards? NASA has created specific outgassing standards for materials for screening purposes low outgassing…

UV Cure Adhesives

UV-Cure (Light Cure) adhesives are generally single component polymers systems specifically designed to cure when exposed to certain wavelengths of light. This technology has developed over time to include UV, UV-Vis, and LED light curing adhesives. The most common chemistries utilized in light curing adhesives are acrylics and epoxies. Just like standard adhesives, light cure adhesives have a wide range of physical and cured properties. Properties Single-component light-curing adhesive Curing…

EC-1030FL – High Temperature Potting Compound

EpoxySet (Lincoln, RI) introduces EC-1030FL, a flexible, two part epoxy potting compound. This high temperature potting compound is designed to replace silicone potting compounds where superior bond strength is needed. EC-1030FL, a high temperature potting compound, will prevent stresses to components while temperature cycling without degradation. Advantages over other high temperature potting compound include better adhesion, higher impact resistance, and lower cost. A 10-15 minute work time (at elevated temperature),…

NASA Outgassing Adhesive

NASA developed a method to screen low outgassing material to be used in space. The test determines the volatile content of material samples placed in a heated vacuum chamber. ASTM E595 is the standard test method for measuring outgassing in adhesives and other polymer materials. Results are highly dependent on how the adhesive is cured. Results of the test vary based on cure. Once the sample is cured according to manufacturer suggested cure…

Common Causes for Adhesive Problems

High tech adhesives are very reliable and issues do not occur often. When used correctly, these adhesives can resolve many design issues while also saving money, time and effort.  However, there are many potential reasons for a possible failure when using these materials.  Failure can be defined as no adhesion upon cure, reduced adhesive strength, or loss of adhesion over time. When any problem occurs, the adhesive is very often…
