Epoxy Curing Properties - Room Temperature, Heat Cure & UV Cure Systems
Kohesi Bond custom manufactures adhesives, sealants, coatings, potting, and encapsulation compounds that offer a variety of curing options. As an experienced industrial epoxy cure chemistry manufacturer, our products can be room temperature cured, heat cured, or UV cured depending on your application. The cure time varies with the choice of the epoxy-curing agent system and can be customized to cure longer or shorter depending on your specific requirements. For ease of processing and manufacturing, our tailor-made products offer you a choice of different curing mechanisms and cure times, making Kohesi Bond a trusted custom cure epoxy adhesive manufacturer for engineering teams across industries. They are widely employed in various electronics, aerospace, medical, oil and gas, automotive, optical, and chemical industries. Our specialty adhesives are also capable of passing many industrial standards, such as NASA low outgassing (ASTM E-595), USP Class VI, UL 94 V-0 flame retardance among others.
Choosing the Right Cure System
Whether you’re weighing room temperature cure vs heat cure epoxy, comparing UV cure vs thermal cure adhesive, or need help with an epoxy cure schedule comparison for your specific production line, Kohesi Bond’s technical team can guide you to the right formulation. As a flexible custom cure profile epoxy manufacturer and leading epoxy curing systems supplier in India, we offer flexible cure options matched to your exact application, substrate, and production throughput requirements. Contact our team to discuss your curing needs.
Type of Curing Properties
Kohesi Bond offers a range of one and two component ambient cure epoxy adhesives, sealants, coatings, potting and encapsulation compounds. As a specialist two component room temperature cure epoxy manufacturer, our RT cure epoxy and room temp curing epoxy systems are initiated by mixing the resin and the hardener in the given ratio. Once the two products are mixed, an exothermic reaction occurs, that eventually cures the adhesive completely. Depending on the choice of the resin-curing agent system, the set-up time or the gel time could vary from a few minutes to a few hours or days. Additionally, the rate of cure will also depend on the thickness of the applied adhesive and the temperature.
Our one component, cold cure epoxy system and no-bake epoxy adhesive options include sodium silicate based adhesives, coatings and sealants. These non-toxic, non-flammable products offer ease of application and very good flow properties. They can be easily spread and cured at room temperature. The curing occurs due to evaporation of the water from the system. Faster cures can be achieved at elevated temperatures.
As a dedicated low temperature cure epoxy manufacturer, we also formulate systems well suited to low cure temperature epoxy for plastic bonding and other epoxy adhesive for heat sensitive components, where standard elevated-temperature cure schedules aren’t an option.
