When manufacturers are looking to use adhesives in an assembly operation, three steps must enter into the decision process: suitability, compatibility, and capability.
Master Bond reports that the epoxy adheres to a variety of substrates, including metals, composites, glass, ceramics, semiconductor materials, and many plastics.

Master Bond EP3HTS-TC is a one-part, NASA-low-outgassing-rated epoxy with a thermal conductivity of 16-17 W/(m·K).
We have a problem maintaining adhesion to two steel surfaces at divergent temperatures because of the response of materials to thermal conditions when going through heating and cooling cycles.
We are using epoxy adhesives to bond steel substrates that are exposed periodically to both 150˚C and as low as 0˚C. Our problem is in maintaining adhesion to the two steel surfaces at such divergent temperatures because of the response of materials to thermal conditions when going through heating and cooling cycles. Do you have any suggestions?
Called thermoset polyesters, these materials are glass fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyesters. They are also often referred to as “sheet molding compounds” (SMCs), “fiber-reinforced plastics” (FRPs), or simply “fiberglass.”
Dr. Dave tackles two questions this month, one related to package stability for moisture-sensitive urethane adhesives, and the other regarding epoxy adhesives.
Question: My colleague and I are working on a unique challenge of trying to find a solution for manufacturing urethane-based adhesives that are quite sensitive to moisture exposure.
With electrical and thermal conductivity properties, the epoxy bonds well to a variety of substrates, including metals, glass, ceramics, rubbers, and many plastics.
