EP3SP5FL has a flowable, moderate viscosity and high tensile lap shear strength exceeding 2,000 psi at room temperature when bonding aluminium to aluminium. An effective electrical insulator, the epoxy adheres well to substrates including metals, composites, glass and ceramics, as well as many rubbers and plastics. It withstands thermal cycling, impact and shock, resists water, oils and fuels and also has low shrinkage upon curing.
The single component epoxy is rated for service over a temperature range from -51 to +93°C (from -60 to +200°F) with a hardness greater than 85 Shore D at ambient temperatures. This softens to 25-30 Shore D above 93°C (200°F), allowing EP3SP5FL to be more readily reworkable than most other epoxy systems.
with a minimum shelf life of 3 months and a maximum of 6 months in its original, unopened containers, EP3SP5FL is available in syringes, half pints, pints and quarts containers.
