ESB150
Thermally Conductive/Thermal Shock Resistant
Epoxy Adhesive

ESB150 is a two component, 100% solids thermally conductive adhesive designed for use in surface mount applications which require high temperature and humidity resistance and thermal shock resistance. ESB150 bonds well to ceramic, metal and plastic surfaces, and provides an excellent buffer to bonded substrates with different coefficients of thermal expansion. Other advantages of ESB150 include a low temperature curing cycle and good solvent resistance.
