This non-drip, two-component epoxy resists recurrent autoclaving and sterilisations, including radiation, steam, ethylene oxide and chemical sterilants.
EP42HT-2ND2MED (Black) is designed to be an excellent electrical insulator, while withstanding chemicals such as inorganic and organic acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Its optimal curing schedule is overnight at room temperature, followed by two to three hours of heat curing at 100–125°C.
Key specifications
- Volume resistivity greater than 1012 ohm-cm
- Thermal expansion coefficient of 35–40in/in x 10-6/°C
- Dielectric constant of 3.8
- Tensile strength exceeding 12,000psi
- Heat resistant up to 232°C
- Cures at room temperature in 48–72 hours
- Working life: 30–45 minutes for a mixed 100g batch
- Noncritical mix ratio of 100:40 by weight or 100:50 by volume
- Parts A and B available in syringes, half pints, pints, quarts, gallons and five-gallon containers
