With a low coefficient of thermal expansion of 15-20 x 10-6 in/in/°C, Master Bond EP13LTE is a one part epoxy for structural bonding applications. According to Master Bond, EP13LTE cures readily in 1-2 hours at 300-350°F and has limited flow while curing. It is said to bond well to many substrates such as metals, glass, composites, ceramics and plastics. 

Once cured, EP13LTE has an impressive strength profile delivering a tensile lap shear strength of 2,600-2,800 psi, a compressive strength of 24.000-26.000 psi and a tensile modulus of 500,000-550,000 psi. This dimensionally stable system is able to withstand 1,000 hours at 85°C/85%RH and maintain a Shore D hardness of 90.

With a volume resistivity exceeding 1015 ohm-cm, EP13LTE has reliable electrical insulation properties. This system also passes ASTM E595 testing for NASA low outgassing. It is serviceable over the wide temperature range of -60°F to +500°F [-51°C to +260°C]. This tan coloured system is available for use in syringes, jars, ½ pints and pint containers.
