Optically clear, room temperature curing epoxy blocks UV light transmission

September 12, 2016 By Abigail Esposito

epoxy

This epoxy has a ten to one mix ratio by weight and flows smoothly and evenly, enabling it to be used for coating, sealing and encapsulation applications.

Formulated for specific optical applications, Master Bond EP30-2LB blocks UV light from 200 to 400 nm and allows the transmission of visible light from 450 to 900 nm.

This two part system is optically clear with a refractive index of 1.55. It also passes ASTM E595 testing to meet NASA low outgassing specifications.

Beyond its optical properties, EP30-2LB is a reliable structural adhesive with a tensile lap shear strength of 3,000 to 3,200 psi and a compressive strength of 14,000 to 15,000 psi. It bonds well to a wide variety of substrates including metals, composites, glass, ceramics, rubbers and plastics.

This epoxy has a ten to one mix ratio by weight and flows smoothly and evenly, enabling it to be used for coating, sealing and encapsulation applications. It is a capable electrical insulator, is dimensionally stable and has low shrinkage upon cure. This material also is easily machineable.

EP30-2LB resists chemicals including water, oils, fuels, acids and bases and many solvents. It is serviceable from -80° to 300° F (-62° to 149° C). This compound has a shelf life of one year at room temperature in its original, unopened containers. It is available for use in ½ pint, pint, quart, gallon and 5 gallon container kits as well as gun dispensers.
