M-Bond AE-10 and AE-15

Description
Two-component 100%-solids epoxy systems. Primarily used as adhesives . Often used as protective coating because of low vapor-transmission rate. AE-15 is superior but requires heat cure. Single coating thickness 0.005-0.015 in (0.1-0.4 mm). Primarily used where thin hard coating is required to resist water immersion for short time. Good electrical/mechanical protection where high velocity fluids are present and minimuim disturbance to flow is necessary. Good leadwire anchor. Often used as precoat for sealing concrete.
