Appli-Thane® 7340

A low modulus, high strength material - Ideal for staking components

Because they are hard and high modulus after cure, many aerospace epoxy systems will fail when exposed to extreme thermal cycling and vibration environments. Designed as replacement material for these systems, Appli-Thane® 7340 is an easy-to-use polyurethane. It won’t harm, bend or break highly fragile substrates, such as glass and ceramic, when exposed to vibration and extreme thermal cycling. A thixotropic, thermally conductive compound, Appli-Thane® 7340 passes NASA’s outgassing requirements and is suitable for electro-optics bonding and staking and may be used as a fillet as well.
