Zyvex Performance Materials
(ZPM), the world leader in
nanomaterials applications, officially launched their new line of two part epoxy
adhesives, called
Epovex AdhesiveTM. The new adhesive is designed to be a replacement for existing
aerospace
grade adhesives. Laboratory tests have proven the superior T-Peel and shear
strength of Epovex
Adhesives in composite to composite bonds, composite to metal bonds, and composite
to wood
bonds.
This new line of adhesives is available in quart (3.5 lbs) and gallon (14
lbs) kits. For higher volume
and industrial customers, five gallon (72 lbs) and fifty-five gallon (720 lbs)
kits are available. ZPM’s
US distributors will be also be offering Epovex Adhesives to their customers
and new clients.
President Lance Criscuolo announced, “Epovex Adhesive is a second generation
nano-enhanced
product. Not only does this adhesive offer superior performance, but our technology
also helps
reduce costs.” He continued, “Companies that are using expensive
aerospace grade adhesives
can now buy a better product that costs 30% less, and is backed with better
service and
distribution.”
In independent testing against leading industry competitors, Epovex Adhesive
demonstrated 50%
greater performance in T-Peel strength (ASTM D1876) and a 15% improvement in
shear strength
(ASTM D1002).
“Our molecular-engineered products and technology are the solution to
the roadblock of current
materials’ limitations,” said Product Development Engineer Fred
Meyer. “By using Epovex
Adhesives, our customers will experience fewer secondary bond failures and save
money at the
same time.”
Epovex Adhesive is available immediately. More information and MSDS are available
