Conductive Silver Epoxies
Conductive silver epoxies are two-part adhesive systems that cure to form both a mechanical bond and an electrically conductive path, used for mounting specimens or making electrical connections in SEM and general lab work.

Overview
Conductive silver epoxies are two-part adhesive systems that cure to form both a mechanical bond and an electrically conductive path, used for mounting specimens or making electrical connections in SEM and general lab work. They are supplied as small two-tube kits so the resin and hardener can be mixed in the small quantities typical of microscopy sample preparation. Unlike silver paint, which dries by solvent evaporation, these epoxies cure chemically and form a more durable, permanent bond.
Two-Part Conductive Epoxy Kits
Silver-filled epoxy resin and hardener are supplied in matched small tubes, from 2.5 to 14 g total, for conductive bonding and specimen mounting. The chemical cure produces a more permanent bond than a solvent-evaporation paint.
