Tra-Con has introduced new TRA-BOND 342-3.5ACC, an epoxy adhesive specifically designed for applications with significant thermal shock. It can be cured at room temperature with an optional heat cure. The adhesive bonds well to ferrites and other materials where physical—rather than chemical—bonds are needed.
According to the company, TRA-BOND 342-3.5ACC is an excellent choice for fiber optic, aerospace, and other high-performance electronic devices. This hard and clear adhesive can be used for structural lamination, prism assembly, and small-volume optical potting applications. It has good resistance to most harsh chemicals and alkalis, including petroleum solvents, oils, and alcohols.
