EP4CL-80Med is a one-part, optically clear epoxy developed for use in medical device assembly applications.

Withstands repeated sterilization cycles and passes ISO 10993-5 testing for non-cytotoxicity. Cures at moderate temperatures of around 80°-85°C within 60 to 90 min. and faster at slightly higher temperatures. A one-part, non-premixed and frozen system, contains no solvents, and has “unlimited” working life at room temperature. Suitable for bonding, sealing, impregnating and coating, provides a glass transition temperature of 155°-160°C and has a viscosity of 50-150cps at 25°C. Applies by brushing, spraying, and spin coating.

Compressive strength of 12,000-14,000 psi and tensile modulus of 450,000-500,000 psi at room temperature. Is serviceable over temperature range of -62° to +232°C. Is an excellent electrical insulator with a volume resistivity of more than 1014 ohm-cm at room temperature and a refractive index of 1.52 at 25°C. EP4CL-80Med has good resistance to many sterilization methods, including autoclaving, dry heat, radiation, and chemical sterilants. Resists vaporized hydrogen peroxide, a sterilization technology from STERIS®. It bonds well to a variety of substrates such as metals, composites, ceramics, and many plastics. Packaging is available in jars and cans, as well as syringes.
