24/03/2010

Press releaseIssued by Master Bond Inc..

Designed to replace rivets and spot welds in metal lap joints, structural adhesive Supreme 11HT produces tough and high strength bonds having excellent shear and peel strengths. Master Bond's innovative metal bonding adhesive is formulated for service from -73°C to over 205°C. It offers superior resistance to impact, thermal shock, vibration and fatigue cracking, while also maintaining moisture, creep, corrosion and thermal resistance. This two part metal bonding epoxy offers a relatively fast cure at room temperature, or a more rapid cure at elevated temperatures. 100% reactive, it does not contain any diluents, solvents or any hazardous ingredients. Supreme 11HT is unique in the wide variety of different metals to which it offers outstanding adhesion. Its high strength bonds are remarkably resistant to chemicals including fuels, water, oil and many organic solvents even upon prolonged exposures.  Significant metal bonding strength characteristics include tensile shear strength in excess of 2,300 psi and T-peel strength of 25 pli. Adhesion to brass, aluminum, Nitenol, glass, ceramics, vulcanized rubbers and many plastics is excellent. The hardened adhesive is a superior electrical insulator. Its imposing performance profile qualifies Supreme 11HT metal adhesive for use in difficult applications in the aerospace, electronic, electrical, appliance, automotive and chemical industries.
