Thermally stable epoxy meets NASA low outgassing specifications
Master Bond EP30-3LO is a two-component epoxy system offering optical clarity, high temperature resistance, and NASA low outgassing approval. This combination of properties enables it to be suitable for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation applications in the aerospace, electronic, optical and optoelectronic industries.
This epoxy has a glass transition temperature exceeding 175degC. It also withstands many chemicals, particularly water, oils, acids, bases and solvents over the wide service temperature range of -80degF to +450degF. Often selected for potting applications, EP30-3LO features a low viscosity and reliable electrical insulation values.
With a non-critical 100:30 mix ratio by weight, this compound cures with the addition of heat ranging from 250-350degF. As it requires oven curing, EP30-3LO has a long pot life of 6-10h at room temperature. It bonds well to a wide variety of substrates including metals, glass, composites and many plastics and rubbers.
EP30-3LO delivers a 1-year shelf life in its original, unopened containers. It is available in standard packaging ranging from ½ pint to 5 gallon kits.
Master Bond EP30-3LO passes NASA low outgassing tests and offers a high temperature resistance. Follow the link to read more about Master Bond's epoxies with high glass transition temperatures. For a full product description of Master Bond EP30-3LO, please visit www.masterbond.com/tds/ep30-3lo.
