Transparent optical epoxy adhesive Master Bond

Master Bond offers transparent epoxy formulations for use with elements in the optical path. They are formulated to maximize strength, applicability and environmental resistance in bonding, coating, potting and casting of optical systems. Attainable properties besides transmissions in excess of 97% include; specific wavelength characteristics, superior non-yellowing, low linear shrinkage, low exotherm, high electrical insulation, matched coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE, COE), along with a wide index of refraction range, from a relatively low 1.43 up to 1.61 IR. It should be noted that the ultraviolet compositions cure tack free. Master Bond products have been carefully processed to exclude potentially objectionable contaminants and provide innovative solutions to many processing problems. They virtually eliminate quality control difficulties caused by outgassing, corrosion and other environmentally induced conditions.

Master Bond optical polymers produce high strength bonds resistant to chemicals including water, oil, acids, and many organic solvents and are serviceable over a wide temperature range. They bond well to most substrates including metals, glass, ceramics, and many plastics, especially polycarbonates and acrylics.
