EB-135 Epoxy: Meeting NASA’s Rigorous Outgassing Standards

Understanding NASA Low Outgassing Standards NASA developed a method to screen low outgassing materials for use in space applications. The standard test, defined by ASTM E595, measures the volatile content of materials placed in a heated vacuum chamber. This method is widely used to evaluate adhesives and other polymers for aerospace and satellite systems. The test results are highly dependent on how the adhesive is cured. Once cured according to…

Common Causes of Adhesive Problems and Failures

Key Factors That Lead to Adhesive Failure High-tech adhesives are highly reliable when used correctly and can often resolve design challenges while saving time, effort, and cost. However, adhesive problems do occur, and understanding their causes is critical to preventing failures. Adhesive failure can appear as no adhesion after cure, reduced bond strength, or loss of adhesion over time. Because adhesives are one of the first components examined when problems…
