Epoxy Adhesives

General Characteristics

Selection criteria according to the adhesive category

The choice of epoxy adhesive depends on specific and essential criteria:

• Final application (series, prototyping, single application, etc.)


• Temperatures to withstand (minimum, peak, max. operating)
• Thermal shock resistance:
o How long does the adhesive take to go from one temperature extreme to
another?
o What is the frequency of this thermal cycle?
o Is there any quenching (air, water, oil, etc.)?
• Required level of thermal conductivity
• Required level of dielectric strength
• Acceptable level of thermal expansion
• Chemical environment (vapour, liquid, contaminant, etc.)
• Mechanical constraints (compression, vibration, shock, etc.)
• Electrical constraints
• Surrounding environment (humidity, vacuum, etc.)
• Possible application conditions
• Thermal expansion coefficient of elements in contact
• Type of curing (maximum temperature)

Adhesion

The characteristics of the bonding surface will prove crucial for obtaining the best
adhesion. They are defined by the structure of the surface finish and any residual impurities.
Generally, the substrate will need to be machined or sanded to obtain a slight roughness and
allow the ceramic cements to bond to it.

Thickness of the adhesive layer

At operating temperature, the space between two assembled parts should be between
0.05 and 0.2 mm. If a layer is too thin, it prevents an even distribution of the adhesive; a
layer that is too thick could lead to cohesive failures in the mass of the adhesive.

One and two components

Two-component adhesives keep for longer at room temperature. In general, they have
superior mechanical properties and offer a wide range of thermal properties.

One-component adhesives are supplied ready for use. However, their consistency
(viscosity, thixotropy) slowly changes during storage at room temperature.

A two-component product can be mixed at the time of production, but it must be


immediately stored at -40 °C until its expiry date (approximately 1 year).

Epoxy Adhesives
Pot life

The pot life is the optimal use time of an epoxy adhesive once it has been mixed. The
material can be used without any risk of impairing its application process.

In the case of a one-component adhesive, the pot life and storage time are identical. At
the outset, certain adhesives partially evaporate and lead to a slight variation in viscosity and
thixotropy.

The pot life is passed when the adhesive can no longer be used (measured, weighed, etc.)
safely. The preparation and application techniques also affect the possibilities of using an
adhesive at its optimal viscosity. Therefore, the pot life does not depend only on the adhesive
and its composition, but also on the techniques employed for its use.

These parameters can alter the pot life at room temperature from one hour to one day.
The pot lives indicated should there only be used as reference values. In addition, the viscosity
of the products can double without presenting a problem with respect to using the product.

The pot life at room temperature of two-component products ranges from a few hours to
one day. However, cooling is not recommended at the components could crystallise.

Temperature ranges

Epoxy and polyamide adhesives are organic mixtures that break down and evaporate
at high temperature.

Peak temperature

The maximum operating temperature results in a 2 % weight per 24-hour stretch.


Exceeding this temperature reduces the hardness and bond strength of the adhesives. If the
bonding is to remain stable for one year and retain all of its properties, it should remain 20
to 80 °C below.

Limit temperature before deformation

The limit temperature before deformation is less than the peak temperature. It provides
a reference point in order to anticipate the mechanical deformation of the adhesive.

Tearing strength
Two plates bonded together are
subject to traction parallel to their planes until
the assembly ruptures. The tearing strength
is the maximum force value according to the
thickness of the bonding.

Epoxy Adhesives
Retention of moisture

Moisture resistance indicates the propensity of the cured adhesive to capture water. It
allows you to compare the behaviour of different materials in the presence of moisture. This
value is measured based on the variation in weight of the adhesive immersed directly in water
for a given period of time at a constant temperature.

Consistency

The consistency of epoxides varies from liquid to solid, and from stable, very viscous
or thixotropic. In non-filled adhesives, their viscosity indicates their tendency to flow.

For example:
• Water......................1.7 cP
• Glycerine ............1,499 to 1,700 cP
• Oil....................300 to 3,000 cP
• Epoxide....................600 to 50,000 cP

In the case of filled adhesives, this indication is a bit more delicate as the filler increases
or reduces the thixotropy to make them paste-like. These thixotropic products exhibit a stable
form at rest but become viscous when agitated (movements, decrease in volume). The
consistency of filled adhesives is defined according to a type scale: low, medium or high
(paste-like consistency) viscosity.

Filler

Thermally conductive adhesives

Epoxy adhesives can be filled with aluminium oxide (the most common), silver, nickel
or aluminium. This represents between 60 and 75 % of the weight of the adhesive. A metal
filler confers a better thermal conductivity but means that the product can no longer be
qualified as an electrical insulator. The choice of filler is determined based on the overall
thermal resistance of the assembly and not just the thermal conductivity of the epoxy.

Adhesives with no added filler

Epoxy adhesives with no added filler have a wide range of applications, in particular
bonding glass, fibre optics etc.

These bonds retract in heat, causing a loss of volume that can cause strains and tears.
The intensity of the strains essentially depends on the type of adhesive used. Ideally, it should
not contain any solvents to maintain retraction of less than 1 %). For very thin layers, total
peeling can occur during curing.

Epoxy Adhesives

Selection

Numerous factors need to be taken into account when selecting an epoxy adhesive, but
the main things to consider are:

Application technique

These initial criteria help identify the quantities to order and stock, as well as the
consistency, viscosity and even the cure cycle.

Considerations: intended application, work rate, maximum recommended temperature of the


other parts during curing, etc.

Particular specifications related to the end use

The final choice is often a compromise between all of these requirements.

Considerations: thermal and electrical conductivity, temperatures, mechanical resistance,


resistance to moisture, thermal shocks, optical properties, contact materials, etc.

Preparation

Preparation of the adhesive

The epoxide should be mixed prior to application. If there are two components, we
advise mixing each of these components individually. Care must be taken to ensure that
neither prior agitation nor mixing introduce too many air bubbles, however sm all they may
be.

Heating the adhesive to between 35 and 50 °C significantly reduces its viscosity (it
behaves like an engine oil), which can facilitate mixing and kneading. It should be kept in
mind that this reduces the pot life and therefore it is important to work quickly in this case.

Surface preparation

Surfaces should be cleaned of all bond residues, dust, traces of oil, grease and dirt
before bonding. For oil and grease, the best results are obtained with organic solvents such
as acetone, ethanol, MEC (methylethylcetone).

Cleaning the surfaces improves the adhesion of the adhesive. The adhesive generally
adheres well to metals (with the exception of chromium and titanium), ceramics and synthetic
materials. Among these, it may be necessary, for polyolefins or PTFE-based materials, to allow
for an initial impregnation. For example, you can use a mixture of oxygen and sulphur
hexafluoride.

Epoxy Adhesives
Curing

The cure cycle is a set of temperature stages that an adhesive must follow to ensure
optimal curing. Different stages combinations are available for each product according to their
applications and equipment (air heating, convection oven, heating plate, etc.).

Briefly heating at high temperature ensures complete curing and provides the best
resistance to water, gases and other fluids. For conductive adhesives (electricity or heat),
these same procedures produce the lowest possible resistances. However, this method of
hardening makes the adhesives more brittle.

Conversely, curing using lower temperatures and longer heating times optimises the
flexibility and endurance of the adhesive faced with thermomechanical stresses.

The best technique involves progressive hardening which takes time. The results
obtained are excellent, even as an initial approach, and regardless of the intended application.
This process, suggested on the packaging, represents the best possible first test. The
suggested curing stages can be considerably reduced in many industrial applications.

The time/temperature stages indicated should therefore be regarded as suggestions.


Variations in heating conditions lead to changes in the properties of the cured product. The
optimal curing conditions depend on the intended application, and they are discovered
empirically.

The link between the curing time and temperature is by nature exponential: at around
100 °C, lowering the temperature by 10 °C doubles the curing time required to obtain an
identical result. Increasing the temperature by 10 °C halves the time.

N.B. : You can never do too much curing!

Heat curing should always start in a cold oven and the temperature should be
gradually increased.

Bond removal and repair

Dismantle an assembly:
• With heat
• With mechanical action
• With a special solvent (dichloromethane)

Repairing a bond:
• The most commonly used method is heat:
o Direct a stream of hot air directly onto the area to repair.
o This localised heating does not damage the other parts and can be carried out
up to 350 °C.

Complete replacement:
• Replace the bond and cure it via local heating

Epoxy Adhesives
Cleaning

Non cured remnants are easily removed with a solvent (acetone, ethanol, etc.); if the adhesive
has already cured, even just partially, chlorinated solvents should be used, such as
dichloromethane. It is therefore important that cleaning is carried out quickly.

Specific instructions for refrigerated adhesives

Storage
• A temperature of -40 °C must be maintained!

Warming up
• Open the cartridges before letting them come up to room temperature.
• Condensation water must be kept away from the openings.
• Under no circumstances should the adhesive be refrigerated again!

Delivery
• Cold is guaranteed by the dry ice (-78 °C). At least one kilogram of dry ice should still
be present on receipt.
• The adhesive and dry ice should be handled with gloves; direct contact with water or
other solvents could destroy the adhesive.

Implementation Guidelines

Epoxy adhesives are most commonly used in the form of thixotropic paste, or to create
thinner, liquid adhesive structures. The main techniques for use are as follows:

Serigraphy

• Place the substrate 0.5 – 1 mm underneath the screen.


• Pass the adhesive through a nylon or steel screen using a scraper.
• The underside of the screen acts as a stencil: the grains of adhesive only fill the free
spaces.

Adhesives with filler will require the use of a screen with a mesh size of between 70 and
128 links/cm. The choice depends on the grain size of the epoxide used.

Pad printing

The adhesive is applied in several different locations to create a network for assembling
parts. The size of the pad is adapted according to the shape of the assembly in order to obtain
a perfect bond.

This extremely accurate technique enables production rates of 600 to 800 parts per hour,
even when performed manually. Epoxy adhesives are specifically designed so that their
thixotropy and viscosity are suitable for this technique. It is essential that no filament forms
caused by stretching if the pad is far away from the adhesive.

Epoxy Adhesives
Compressed air dosing

• Use a cartridge fitted with a dosing syringe at the end.


• Place a very small amount of adhesive (for example 5 cm3) in the cartridge.
• Control the volume, flow rate and pressure with the compressed air system.

This technique is used to obtain exact dosing of the amount of adhesive expelled. It is
used for manual or automated dosing.

Spatula method

• Apply the adhesive by hand onto the bonding surface using a spatula.

Although imprecise, this method is useful for research, the production of all small series
or repairs.

Centrifugation

• Place the part (disc) on a rotating cylinder: the vacuum creates the adhesion.
• Apply the adhesive while the cylinder is rotating at high speed for an even application
thanks to the centrifugal force.

Centrifugation is used to coat disk-shaped parts very evenly.

Storage

Two-component

• Maintain the temperature between 20 and 25 °C.


• Keep the packaging closed (volatile compounds)

If these conditions are met, the products will have a shelf life of 6 months, often longer.
An adhesive can be used for as long as it can be worked with.

One-component

One-component epoxy adhesives have a 6-month shelf life. However, their shelf life can
be considerably extended if they are stored in the fridge at between 2 and 7 °C. They should
then be taken out and kept in their sealed packaging at least one day before t hey are used.

Note: condensation on the lid should be monitored as it can lead to the destruction of the
epoxide.
