Technologically advanced adhesives, sealants, coatings, potting and encapsulation compounds have been developed to meet the increasingly challenging requirements of manufacturers of medical diagnostic equipment. These formulations feature high bond strength to similar and dissimilar substrates, offer high/low temperature resistance, withstand exposure to moisture and chemicals and have long-term durability. Specific grades are electrically conductive, thermally conductive, USP Class VI approved, NASA low outgassing certified and optically clear.
Master Bond adhesives adhere to a wide range of materials, including metals, various plastics, ceramics, glass and composites. They are used for structural bonds as well as potting/gap-filling applications, and offer versatility for the many types of technologies within the medical diagnostics space. Epoxies and silicones have become integral to manufacturing these diagnostic medical devices, and provide versatile properties to meet specific market needs.

- MRI machines
- PET and CT scanners
- Ultrasound machines
- Electrocardiograph devices
- Tonometers
- X-ray machines
- Otoscopes
- Spirometers
