• Uniform bond line thickness
Master Bond FLM36 is a very special film adhesive featuring incomparable strength properties, high temperature resistance and first class thermal conductivity and electrical insulation properties. Based on the Master Bond EP36AO formulation, this film differs from other heat resistant epoxies for it possesses far more toughness and flexibility than conventional high temperature resistant epoxies. Although it has a lower glass transition temperature and is softer above it, FLM36 retains its very high physical strength properties profile up to 500°F. FLM36 combines markedly enhanced thermal and mechanical shock resistance and thermal cycling capabilities. FLM36 bonds well to a variety of substrates including metals, composites, glass and many plastics. It has good chemical resistance to water, acids, bases, fuels and oils. The service temperature range is -100°F to +500°F. Being a film, it, of course, doesn’t require any mixing. The processing is very straightforward, that is heat curing at 350°F for 1-2 hours in order to obtain optimal properties. Two outstanding features of films include their uniformity of bond line thicknesses and limited squeeze out during bonding.
This product is offered in three standard sizes: FLM36-4A is 4 x 4 x 0.008 inches, FLM36-8B is 8 x 8 x 0.008 inches and FLM36-12C is 12 x 12 x 0.006 inches. The film can be cut with a pair of sharp scissors into various shapes and sizes.
