Supreme 12AOHT-LO is a one component epoxy from Master Bond that can be used for a variety of bonding and sealing applications in the aerospace, electronic, electro-optic and OEM industries. This system fully passes ASTM E595 testing for NASA low outgassing and is well suited for vacuum environments.
As a toughened epoxy, Supreme 12AOHT-LO resists rigorous thermal cycling and shocks over the wide service temperature range of 4K to +500°F. It offers high thermal conductivity of 9-10 BTU•in/ft2•hr•°F and is a competent electrical insulator.
It bonds well to an array of substrates including metals, composites, glass, rubbers, ceramics and many plastics. This compound delivers high tensile lap shear, compressive and peel strengths exceeding, 3,500 psi, 22,000 psi and 5-10 pli, respectively. It is dimensionally stable and has low shrinkage upon cure. Supreme 12AOHT-LO is resistant to a variety of chemicals, particularly to water, oil, fuels and solvents.
The epoxy is a thixotropic paste with a smooth consistency that is easy to handle. As a single component epoxy, it doesn't require any mixing and offers an "unlimited" working life at room temperature. It cures rapidly at elevated temperatures. This gray colored system can be stored at ambient temperatures, but maximum shelf life is achieved when it is refrigerated at 45-55°F.
