Recently, Master Bond has developed a two-component epoxy system resin-EP40Med resin, which combines toughness and low tensile modulus, while still having high lap shear strength.
This flexible epoxy resin has an elongation of 80-90%, a lap shear strength of 1,600-1,800 psi and a low tensile modulus of 25,000-50,000 psi. It meets the requirements of ISO 10993-5 test and is therefore considered non-cytotoxic. The compound can be used for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation.
