ThinkBond 8 Premium Electrical Insulator Adhesive for Rubber to metal Bonding

ThinkBond 8 is a specialized insulator adhesive designed for bonding critical electrical components like polymeric insulators. This one-coat, heat-reactive primer creates superior bonds between peroxide-cured elastomers (VMQ, FKM) and substrates like steel, aluminum, galvanized metal, and resin composites during vulcanization. Its defining characteristic is an extremely low electrical conductivity, making it the essential insulator adhesive for applications where preventing current leakage is paramount. ThinkBond® 8 is also a heavy metal-free, environmentally conscious solution.

• Essential for Electrical Insulators: Exceptionally low conductivity ensures reliable electrical insulation performance in demanding applications.
• Strong & Durable Bonds: Forms robust, vulcanization-activated bonds between silicone (VMQ), fluorocarbon (FKM) elastomers, and various metals/composites.
• One-Coat Efficiency: Simplifies application and saves time compared to multi-coat systems.
• Heavy Metal-Free: Environmentally friendly formulation meeting modern safety standards.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for dipping, brushing, or spraying methods.
• Process Flexibility: Applied parts can be stored for up to 7 days (clean, dry) before vulcanization.
• Optimized Viscosity: Low viscosity (<50 cps) ensures easy handling and uniform film application.

• Reliable Insulation: Its core property of low conductivity is fundamental for manufacturing safe, effective polymeric insulators.
• Manufacturing Efficiency: The one-coat application, fast drying, and pre-vulcanization storage window streamline production.
• Bonding Confidence: Proven performance in creating durable bonds critical for insulator integrity under stress and environmental exposure.
• Environmental Responsibility: Heavy metal-free formula aligns with stricter environmental regulations.
• Ease of Use: Low viscosity and clear dilution guidelines simplify integration into existing processes.
