Understanding Low Outgassing Adhesives
Engineers frequently face the question of whether or not to use low outgassing adhesives. While certain applications demand strict low outgassing performance, many generic adhesives inherently exhibit low outgassing levels without the need for specialized formulations. In reality, most bonding, potting, encapsulation, and sealing applications do not require adherence to specific outgassing standards. This guide helps clarify when low outgassing adhesives are truly necessary and how to make the...
