Panacol adds epoxy-based adhesive Structalit 8801 to its portfolio of medical grade adhesives. The biocompatible adhesive was specially designed for bonding temperature-sensitive substrates as it cures quickly at low temperatures.
It is a single-component adhesive based on epoxy resin. Due to its viscosity characteristics it is perfectly suited as a potting or filling material. The beige-colored adhesive possesses high chemical resistance against common cleaning agents used for medical devices, including isopropyl alcohol. It develops high bond strength with ceramics, metals and many plastics. For example, it is successfully being used as a potting compound for sensors in medtech devices.
This adhesive cures very quickly at low oven temperatures. At 100° C it will fully cure in only a few minutes. Being certified according to ISO 10993–5 standards, it is also for applications in medical devices. The adhesive is 100 % solvent free and compatible with common sterilization processes such as autoclaving, gamma irradiation, E-beam and EtO.
