FLM36 - High temperature resistant B-staged adhesive


Master Bond has developed FLM36 for bonding and sealing applications in the aerospace, electronic, opto-electronic and specialty OEM industries.


M


aster Bond says the FLM36 is a high temperature resistant B-staged adhesive film, that features thermal conductivity and electrical insulation, which has been developed in an effort to


mitigate the more complicated preparation associated with B-staged epoxies. FLM36 can withstand temperatures up to 260°C and


retains its high strength properties upon prolonged exposure to elevated temperature. It bonds well to a variety of substrates including metals, composites, glass and many plastics. Additionally, thermally conductive FLM36 is a superior electrical insulator. This B-staged film eliminates mixing and measuring and is easy to handle. Unlike other heat resistant epoxy systems, Master Bond points out that the FLM36 possesses more flexibility and toughness, which enables it to endure thermal and mechanical shocks as well as thermal cycling. It also has good chemical resistance to water, acids, bases, fuels and oils. The film has release paper on each side. Master Bond


explains that after the substrates to be bonded are properly prepared, the release paper should be removed to expose the adhesive. It should then be carefully placed onto the part and pressure applied. The assembly is lightly fixtured and cured for 1-2 hours at 177°C. The bonded parts should be returned to 24°C before removing the fixtures. This product is offered in three standard sizes: FLM36-4A is 4 x 4 x 0.008 inches, FLM36-8B is 8 x 8 x 0.008 inches and FLM36-12C is 12 x 12 x 0.006 inches. FLM36 can be cut with a pair of sharp scissors into various shapes and sizes. It is rugged, durable, not prone to cracking and does not require freezing or refrigeration.
