Epoxies are inherently excellent electrical insulators. Adhesives, sealants, coatings, potting, encapsulation and impregnating compounds are widely employed in electronic and electrical applications. Choosing the right epoxy not only depends on its dielectric properties, but also on a number of properties such as temperature resistance, mechanical strength, chemical resistance and resistance to thermal and mechanical shocks and cycles.

Discover our space approved epoxy system KB 1631 HTC-1 with the help of this infographic. It offers phenomenal thermal conductivity, cryogenic serviceability and it is capable of passing ASTM E-595 NASA standards for low outgassing.

In addition to resins and curing agents, fillers are the most common ingredient in an adhesive formulation. Depending on the type of filler employed, it can have varied effects on the epoxy system. They can improve machinability, mechanical strength properties, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability. Specific fillers are capable of providing exceptional flame retardancy, heat dissipation properties and electrical conductivity.
