Depending on the application, critical disparities between materials may exist in areas such as bond strength, curing characteristics, flexibility, and gap-filling capabilities. In many instances, the toughness and versatile properties of biocompatible epoxies make them the superior alternate Epoxies form strong and durable bonds, fill gaps effectively and adhere well to most types of substrates. Since they are easy to apply and cure, epoxies lend themselves to automated, cost-efficient manufacturing solutions. And their excellent optical qualities make them particularly well suited for medical fiber-optic applications. Range of Application.
Extensive information s available on the use of epoxies for applications in medical devices.
