According to Master Bond, Supreme 17HTND-2 has reliable electrical insulation properties with a volume resistivity exceeding 1015 ohm-cm at 75 °F. It possesses high bond strength properties with a lap shear strength of 1,900-2,100 psi and a tensile strength of 7,000-8,000 psi. It is designed to withstand thermal cycling and offers a wide service temperature range from -100°F to +550°F (-73°C to 288°C). Along with its simple handling properties, it has a paste consistency and is completely non-drip, making it ideal for applications where no flow is critical.

Supreme 17HTND-2 is expected to cure at elevated temperatures with cure schedule options including 300°F for four to six hours or 350°F for two to four hours. An optimal cure schedule is at 300°F for 4-6 hours, followed by a post cure at 350°F for eight to 12 hours. It is said to bond well to a variety of substrates, including metal, ceramics, composites and several plastics. Black in colour, it is available in standard packaging of jars and cans, ranging from ½ pint to gallon containers.
