Hackensack, NJ- Master Bond EP21BAS is an innovative radio-opaque epoxy adhesive approved for use in the manufacture of medical instruments and devices.

This low viscosity two-part epoxy cures at room temperatures and produces high strength bonds, seals and coatings.

Primarily it is used for blocking electromagnetic radiation and in radiographic medical diagnostic procedures for X-ray marking of catheters, stents, drug delivery devices and dental compositions.

As a medical device adhesive, it features excellent resistance to chemicals including water, oils, fuels, acids, bases and salts and holds up well to thermal cycling. Once cured, the epoxy has excellent electrical insulation properties.
