Flexible Epoxy Has High Thermal Conductivity
Master Bond manufactures a broad line of high-performance one- and two-component thermally conductive adhesives, sealants, coatings, and potting and encapsulation compounds. Advanced polymer system EP21TDC-2AN was specifically designed for use in applications requiring resistance to thermal cycling, vibration, impact, and shock. It offers a thermal conductivity of 18 BTU/in/ft2/hr/°F and is a superior electrical insulator. Cured EP21TDC-2AN has an elongation of 31%, an exceptional figure for a thermally conductive epoxy.

E-Note Concept
A company based in China and France has come up with the modern-day version of the "Post-it" note that will rely on gecko-inspired adhesive technology in place of conventional glue to stick to surfaces. Sequoia Studio has come up with a concept for the E-note, a next-generation Post-it made of electronic paper that offers reusability and a digital interface. Sequoia plans to utilize a gecko-inspired adhesive to allow users to attach and detach the notes as easily as they could a Post-it.

U.S. Army Readies A New Blast-protection Adhesive for Deployment
The U.S. Army has developed a new adhesive material called the X-FLEX Blast Protection System that is intended to prevent walls from being blown into dangerous shrapnel during explosions. X-FLEX is an adhesive-backed tape similar to wallpaper, made from a polymer composite with reinforcing fibers so it can be flexible and strong at the same time. Berry Plastics Corp., whose Engineered Protective Systems division developed the material, said that it is applied by wiping dust or particles from the wall surface, peeling off the backing, and pressing the tape against the wall. "The material is placed on the interior side of exterior walls and intended to protect the occupants of that particular room," says Elizabeth Curran, business development manager at Berry's Tapes and Coatings division in Franklin, Mass.

Epoxy For High Temperature Service Up To 600°F
HACKENSACK, NJ: Master Bond EP46HT-1 extends the limits of epoxy adhesive/sealant formulations. It has a continuous service operating temperature range of -100°F to +550°F and can withstand intermittent exposures up to 600°F. EP46HT-1 has a glass transition temperature of over 235°C. In addition to high temperatures, it is also designed to withstand severe and repeated thermal cycling. Master Bond EP46HT-1 is easy to apply and cures rapidly at elevated temperatures. It is 100% reactive and does not contain any solvents or diluents. It offers exceptional physical strength, outstanding dimensional stability, and superior chemical resistance. EP46HT-1 has excellent adhesion to metals, glass, vulcanized rubbers, and most plastics. The hardened system is an electrical insulator. Applications range from downhole oil drilling to turbo compressors and satellite modules. --- Master Bond Inc.

Green Series of Polyurethane Potting Compounds
CRANSTON, RI: The new Green Series of Polyurethane Potting & Encapsulating Compounds is good for the environment and ideal for electronic assembly applications. These Polyurethane Systems are elastomeric and range in durometer from a gel to Shore 80A. They therefore provide low stress on components and vibration resistance. TheGreen Series is low in viscosity, low in toxicity and available in the popular TriggerBond® dual barrel cartridge dispensing system. The base Natural Oil Polyol (NOP) used in these systems is obtained directly from a plant source without chemical modifications. Due to the raw materials selected, these products are low in toxicity and considered GREEN potting compounds. Using renewable resources, such as NOP's, will reduce the demand on non-renewable fossil fuels and reduce the overall production of carbon dioxide. --- Epoxies Etc.

Threadlocker Lubricates & Prevents Loosening of Large Fasteners
ROCKY HILL, CT: A new high lubricity threadlocker from Henkel Corporation, Loctite(R) 2047(TM), is designed to ensure maximum performance of fasteners greater than 7/8-inch in diameter. This dual-function threadlocker works both as a lubricant that reduces friction and achieves proper clamp load during fastener assembly, and as an adhesive/sealant that eliminates loosening, maintains clamp load and prevents corrosion. Loctite(R) 2047(TM) cures slowly, achieving fixture strength after 90 minutes and full cure after 24 hours to allow the assembly of multiple fasteners. On fastener assemblies where torque greater than 500 ft/lbs generates considerable heat, this slow cure profile prevents premature threadlocker cure, ensures reliable clamp load, prevents failure and simplifies disassembly. --- Henkel Corp.
