Request InfoMaster Bond Inc.EP39-2 is a fast-curing optical adhesive for bonding to a variety of substrates such as glass, metals and plastics. Master Bond Inc. designed the transparent adhesive, sealant and coating to resist abrasion and chemicals, including a variety of acids, bases and solvents. It has an index of refraction of 1.56, optical transmission from 350 to 1000 nm, and a service temperature range from -60 to +300 °F. The low-viscosity EP39-2 can produce films as thin as 0.005 in. that become tack-free in 3 h at room temperature.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaARTICLESPhotonics.com 7/26/2022Partnership Streamlines EUV Dry Resist Tech Chemical Supply ChainA partnership unveiled this month at SEMICON WEST 2022 aims to provide semiconductor manufacturers with reliable access to precursor chemicals for dry photoresist technology for EUV lithography. ...Photonics.com 6/14/2022Reusable Light-Writing Solution Reduces Paper WasteA team led by professor Yadong Yin at the University of California, Riverside formulated a light-sensitive coating material for rewritable light-printing.
