Cryogenic Bonding

[aaronshaw]

Does anyone have a list of strong adhesives that can be used at cryogenic temperatures?

Which cryogenic temperatures? AbleStik and others make lots of adhesives that work at 77 K

My brain is really slowing down these days. Stycast is actually the one I was thinking of:

[jedward]

masterbond claims to have cryogenic adhesives
eccobond 285 with catalyst 23 or 24LV should also be acceptable (presumably nominally the same as 2850 FT)

almost as important as the adhesive, try to match the temperature coeffcients of the components being bonded
Others to look at: PRCs PR-1578 and 3M 2216 (2 types)

3M makes some also, but I can't remember the exact names.
