Key Features - Available in 30 gram preforms - High temperature resistant - Thermally conductive & electrically insulative - Flexibilized and toughened - Unlimited working life at room temperature - Meets NASA low outgassing specifications Master Bond EP36AO is a unique one component, high performance epoxy for bonding, encapsulation, potting and coating featuring thermal conductivity, electrical insulation and high temperature resistance. It differs greatly from other heat resistant epoxies as it has far more toughness and flexibility at elevated temperatures. Its forgiving nature at high temperatures imparts vastly superior thermal and mechanical shock resistance as well as superb thermal cycling ability when compared to more standard high temperature resistant epoxies. EP36AO bonds well to a variety of substrates including metals, composites, glass and many plastics. It has good chemical resistance to water, fuels and oils. This one component system is primarily used for potting but can also be used for bonding and sealing. The service temperature range is -100°F to +500°F. As mentioned above, EP36AO retains toughness and heat resistance up to 500°F without losing its critical properties. The hardness remains consistent (20-30 Shore D) above its Tg, and it is still able to withstand rigorous thermal cycling. EP36AO is ideal for potting and encapsulation applications where thermal conductivity, electrical isolation and the ability to withstand severe thermal cycling over a wide temperature range are needed.
