Featuring softness and resilience, Super Gel 9 is a urethane modified epoxy gel that can be employed in a variety of applications including the encapsulation of sensitive electronic parts and sealing optical components, says its maker.
According to Master Bond, Super Gel 9 has an exceptionally low Shore A hardness of about 5-10. This softness allows it to be easily repairable making it ideal for retrieving components with a sharp knife or razor blade. It will not shatter during this process. These properties also enable Super Gel 9 to withstand rigorous thermal cycling and thermal/mechanical shock.
This product has a two to one mix ratio by weight or volume, along with a low viscosity and exotherm enabling it to be cast in larger sections up to 2-3 inches thick. It bonds to an array of substrates, such as metals, glass, ceramics and many rubbers and plastics and has a long working life of 7-9 hours.
This multifunctional system resists many chemicals including water, oils and fuels and will also be widely used in the aerospace, electronic, optical and electro-optical industries.
