Meet NASA Low Outgassing Standards With Adhesives for Aerospace and Optical Systems

This sponsored article is brought to you by Master Bond . Outgassing is the release of volatile substances from a cured adhesive over time. These released materials, which may include residual solvents, unreacted monomers, or other chemical species, can deposit on nearby surfaces, causing contamination that interferes with sensitive components. What Is Outgassing and How Is It Measured? The industry standard for measuring outgassing is ASTM E595, developed by NASA . This test exposes a cured sam
