Low Outgassing Adhesives – The Secret is Knowing When to Use Them by Master Bond

The first thing to understand about low outgassing products is when to use them! If you suspect outgassing could potentially pose a problem in your application, specifying adhesives that comply with the ASTM outgassing standard will make sense as long as one of the compliant grades meets all of your other technical requirements.

What sets low outgassing products apart from their generic counterparts is that the low outgassing grades have passed the rigorous ASTM test—often after months of painstaking formulation work on our part. The time and expense of all that testing and custom formulation do not have major cost implications for users of low outgassing products. The compelling reason to carefully consider whether you truly need a ASTM E595-compliant grade comes down to freedom of choice, not cost.
