Conductive epoxy adhesive is a two component electrically conductive adhesive comprising of a modified epoxy resin filled with conductive silver or nichel particles. It cures on mixing at room temperature to form an electrically conductive structural adhesive. Once cured it adheres strongly to a wide range of substrates.
Features
- Very high bond strength
- Flexible (the degree of flexibility is variable by adjusting mix ratio)
- Extremely resistant to fracture
- Suitable for joining materials with dissimilar thermal coefficients of expansion
- Room temperature cure
- Compatible with most common substrates – non tarnishing / discolouring
- Excellent resistance to ageing
- Wide service temperature range – retains strength and conductivity at extremes of temperature
- Stable - low bond (joint) resistance through temperature cycling
Applications
- Structural adhesive – can be used to permanently bond metal assemblies, EMI windows etc
- Electrical connection of components avoiding the used of mechanical fixings or solder
- EMI shielding with environmental sealing
- ESD control/grounding
- To be used as a solder where heat cannot be tolerated
