Epoxy-based adhesive Structalit® 8801 has been added to this company’s line of medical-grade adhesives. The biocompatible adhesive was designed by manufacturers Panacol for bonding temperature-sensitive substrates as it reportedly cures quickly at low temperatures.
Structalit 8801 is a single-component adhesive based on epoxy resin. Due to its viscosity characteristics it is suited as a potting or filling material. The beige-colored adhesive reportedly has high chemical resistance against common cleaning agents used for medical devices, including isopropyl alcohol. It develops high bond strength with ceramics, metals and many plastics.
