It is unusual to find an all round stick-most-things-to-most-other-things kind of adhesive in a high performance specialist area but, according to Intertonics, the adhere IRS 2125 is such an adhesive. It is a high performance black epoxy resin system with a combination of flexibility and high adhesion strength on materials such as metal, glass, rubber and many plastics, including cable insulations and connector backshells at temperature up to 150°C. Originally developed for cable harnesses, fixing cables into connectors, the IRS 2125 often solves problems where other adhesives are not suitable, offering relative flexibility and high strength adhesion for high technology bonding, sealing and insulating applications.

adhere IRS 2125 is flexible by epoxy standards and can seal to IP68 (continuous immersion), it has a long shelf life (up to 18 months) and a convenient pot life of 90 minutes at 23°C. Combined with excellent resistance to solvents such as de-icing fluid, petrol, oil and hydraulic fluid it really does what an adhesive should do – it produces tough bonds that withstand vibration and flexes sufficiently for many electronics, electrical and structural bonding applications.

This two-part system has a simple 1:1 mix ratio and is supplied in a convenient side-by-side double syringe cartridge, complete with static mixing nozzles. Further information regarding Intertronics’ products can be found at www.intertronics.co.uk.
