medical epoxy
So how does one select the right epoxy? Well you have to do some shopping around look for epoxies that fill your requirements. You can tell how an epoxy will perform by it's Technical Data Sheet. If you don't understand the technical side of things then you can probably request samples. Medical adhesive is used mainly in medical machinery. It's usually FDA approved as well because it will most likely be coming into contact with human skin at one point or another.
For selecting medical adhesive one has to be extra careful to review the specs that said adhesive meets. Review the technical data sheets and the Material Safety Data Sheets as well you don't want to find out after the fact that the adhesive you used on a medical machine is now the reason patients are getting sick. Then you're looking a huge lawsuit. So make sure when reviewing the technical details you're very meticulous in your review.
So now you know pretty much everything you have to in order to purchase and industrial epoxy adhesive so now you're ready to shop around. Make sure you look for the best deal possible because some companies will overcharge you BIG TIME. In my experiences in the industrial adhesives field I've seen plenty of cases where someone was purchasing adhesive X from company X they came to us asking if we had an offset (generic) version of. We usually did then when we gave them our pricing versus company X's the difference was enormous. Some companies will charge as much as they can simply because they know that most end users will not take the time to shop around for the best pricing and quality. I bet you didn't realize the adhesive industry was so cut throat huh? Well, it is! So much to the point that companies will sometimes by other companies just because they pose such a threat.
That's not to say that every adhesive manufacturer is out to get you for your wallet. You should be careful though a good indicator as to how the company will be is the way they treat you when you call them. Is their customer service good? Do they seem friendly? Is the first question they ask "How much are you going to buy?" if it's a small around do they seem discouraged and quick to rush off the phone with you? If so that's a good sign to GET OUT NOW!!!
