Characteristics
USG172 is a thermally conductive epoxy adhesive for electronic applications. It is two components with 2:1 mixing ratio, and can be cured at room temperature or elevated temperature after mixing. It provides strong bonding to metals such as aluminum, copper, plastics, FR4 PCBs, ceramics, glass, etc, with excellent thermal conductivity. The cured material also has low CTE that can provide better thermal cycle performances. USG172 is dispensable.
Special Features and Benefits
• Room temperature curable
• High thermal conductivity
• High temperature stability
• Low CTE for stress compliance
• Low bleeding, low volatile
• Low ionic content
Typical Applications
• Aerospace electronics
• Automotive electronics
• Semiconductor and Telecommunications
• Bonding while dissipating heat
• Bonding of power devices to heat sinks
• Thermally conductive structural bonding
• Thermally conductive vibration
USG172 has a shelf life of at least 12 months when stored below 25°C in the originally sealed container.

Processing Instruction
Important! Only components A and B with the same lot number may be processed together! For the package in a container (not in a cartridge), to ensure homogeneity of the material, the components must be stirred thoroughly before they are removed or processed in order to uniformly disperse any fillers that might have settled during storage. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the material in - 30°C freezer to prevent filler from settling.
We recommend running preliminary tests to optimize conditions for the particular application. Comprehensive processing instructions can be obtained by contacting directly to USGlue.com.
Storage
USG172 has a shelf life of at least 12 months when stored below 25°C in the originally sealed container. The 'Best use before end' date of each batch appears on the product label. Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
Safety information
General hygiene regulations should be observed. Comprehensive instructions are given in the corresponding Material Safety Data Sheets. They are available on request from USGlue.com.
The data presented in this leaflet are in accordance with the present state of our knowledge, but do not absolve the user from carefully checking all supplies immediately on receipt. We reserve the right to alter product constants within the scope of technical progress or new developments. The recommendations made in this leaflet should be checked by preliminary trials because of conditions during processing over which we have no control, especially where other companies’ raw materials are also being used. The recommendations do not absolve the user from the obligation of investigating the possibility of infringement of third parties’ rights and, if necessary, clarifying the position.
