A flexible, one-component epoxy resin-based adhesive/sealant boasts a wide service temperature range of -300° to +300F. Master Bond's Polymer System Supreme 10HTFL cures to a rugged flexible thermoset polymer at temperatures of 250-300F and above.

In contrast to flexible one-part epoxy adhesive sealants, it can be stored at ambient temperatures for extended storage before use. The two-part epoxy features high physical bonds to both metallic and nonmetallic substrates even upon prolonged exposure to hostile environmental conditions. Adhesive and sealing properties to aluminum, steel and other metals, as well as fiber-reinforced composites, most plastics, ceramics, glass, wood and other materials have tensile lap shear strengths of more than 2,000 psi.

The epoxy is an electrical insulator that is resistant to water, salts, oils, fuels and many organic solvents. It also has high resistance to severe thermal and mechanical shock and vibration even when bonding substrates with wide differences in their thermal expansion coefficients.
