  CHO-BOND® Conductive Adhesives
 

CHO-BOND adhesives are electrically conductive epoxy and silicone resins. Curing mechanisms are either room temperature, elevated temperature or moisture. Both single and two-component systems are available, depending on the resin system selected.

Rigid Epoxy Adhesives
   
CHO-BOND epoxies are two-part, silver-filled or silver-plated-copper-filled adhesives which cure at room or elevated temperatures into rigid structural bonds. They're used for bonding EMI vents, windows, or
mesh gaskets, to shield permanent seams and for filling cracks and gaps.

   CHO-BOND 360 compounds have large (>50 micron), silver-plated-copper particles, and are designed to bond poorly toleranced surfaces. The gritty filler bites through thin non-conductive surfaces such as oxide layers and MIL-C-5541 Class 3 irridite. Because its filler is a blend of pure silver and silver-plated-copper particles, CHO-BOND 360-208 adhesive offers superior shielding performance without requiring contact pressure, making this material an ideal fillet seal. Applications include bonding and shielding of cast aluminum housings, conduit bulkhead pass-throughs, filters, and fabricated metal cabinets.
   
   CHO-BOND 500 series compounds are pure silver-filled materials used where tight tolerances require thin bond lines. Various cure cycles are available, and the materials are formulated for easy application by caulking gun, spatula, needle-spotting, or silkscreening. Their use for mesh gasket bonding, PC board repair, chip bonding, rear window defogger repair and as low-temperature-activated flexible solders demonstrates their versatility.
