USP Class VI Adhesives
USP Class VI Approved Adhesives for Medical Device Applications
Master Bond’s biocompatible adhesives are designed to meet the needs of medical device manufacturers. Compounds withstand various types of sterilization methods.

Epoxy Technology EPO-TEK® 730 General Purpose Epoxy
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Epoxy

Material Notes: Product Description: EPO-TEK® 730 is a two component, thixotropic, room temperature-curing epoxy adhesive.

Advantages & Application Notes:

  • Excellent all purpose adhesive. Many uses in job shop and repair businesses, home or household, outdoor, recreation, camping, automotive, boating; and industrial use such as filtration and metal working.
  • Designed for those applications where a limited amount of flow is desirable. Capillary forces do not pull the epoxy out of alignment.
  • The paste-like appearance allows it to be spread by hand using a spatula or blade, by dispensing equipment, or specialty packaging.
  • The 1:1 mix ratio allows it to be easily mixed by volume or by weight.
  • Used in the fabrication of X-ray sensors. Adheres to metal foils and substrates, especially lead.
  • Available in black and in different viscosities.
  • Excellent adhesion to foam/plastics; especially those used in filtration applications.
  • Medical grade suggested applications:
    • Has passed the requirements of USP Class VI Biocompatibility Standards for implantation devices.
    • Excellent adhesion to stainless steel. Suitable for adhesive and sealing.
  • Suggested for LCD plug-seal or end-seal, due to its high viscosity nature and room temperature cure.
  • Can be used for joining SMDs to PCB, for staking applications, or double sided PCB. It has wet, ?green strength? before cure. In many cases, the thixotropic nature of the adhesive will hold parts in place without special fixtures while the hardening process is taking place.
  • Very popular epoxy for wood-working applications.
  • Versatility in curing options between 23°C and 100°C
