Bondmaster Epoxy Adhesives for Motors Now Available in Cartridge Sizes
SAN DIEGO, May 9, 2007 - National Adhesives has announced, here at The Motor & Motion Association's (SMMA) Spring Management Conference, that it is offering several of its Bondmaster (www.bondmaster.com) structural epoxy adhesives for motor assembly in cartridge sizes.
Key Bondmaster products now available in cartridge sizes include A 410-5P and A 359, which provide high strength and high impact characteristics in structural metal and magnet bonding. Bondmaster A359 is IR curable and provides high heat and chemical resistance in chemical- and heat-exposed metal and magnet assemblies. Bondmaster ESP 4582, also packaged in cartridges, is induction curable for rapid motor processing needs. These widely used and proven products, Bondmaster ESP 308, ESP 309 and ESP 310, continue to be available in convenient cartridges.
"Having Bondmaster structural epoxy adhesives available in cartridge sizes gives motor assembly operations more options in their choice of adhesives and helps fill the gap left by the recent withdrawal of a major manufacturer from the one-part epoxy market," said Rob Byrne, Business Director, Bondmaster Structural Adhesives.
Bondmaster structural adhesives include 1-part heat-cure epoxies and 2-part catalytic epoxies formulated for the high performance requirements of today's manufacturing and processing operations. The epoxies operate in broad temperature ranges, joining virtually all surface types, and provide production and performance benefits.
Bondmaster 1-part epoxies have the strength and durability to replace mechanical joining techniques, such as welding. They can also be used in an extremely broad range of applications, including high-tech composites bonding. The adhesives' operating temperatures range from -65°F to 450°F and exhibit extremely high shear strengths up to 4,000 psi. They are easy to handle, dispense and clean up and do not cure until heat is applied. Gap-fill capabilities are up to 0.16 inches.
The 2-part epoxies in the Bondmaster line have been developed to provide superior structural bonding strength and durability for a broad range of material substrates in high performance applications. The adhesives are available in a wide range of viscosities, from flowable to paste-like, and enable increased adhesive application speeds. They also provide an excellent gap fill range of up to 0.25 inches and can be cured at room temperature without an external heat source.
The 2-part epoxy products, which include the widely used Bondmaster E04 and Bondmaster E 32, are packaged in easy-to-use, no-mix dual-pack cartridges. The products do not require pouring, weighing or mixing.
Bondmaster structural epoxy adhesives have proven themselves in the most difficult of environments, according to Byrne, who notes that the electric drive motors on the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity were assembled with Bondmaster adhesives. "The Mars rovers have passed their third year operating in the harsh Martian environment, far surpassing NASA's expectations," said Byrne.
