The high-temperature migration case
High-temperature epoxies are classic single-source exposures: they are specified early, embedded in thermal-design margins, and rarely revisited — while unit prices climb. A migration evaluation for a high-temp epoxy focuses on service temperature rating, thermal conductivity where relevant, viscosity/rheology for your dispensing method, cure schedule compatibility with your ovens, and aged performance. Incure's Epo-Weld™ HTE grades and ultra-high-temp systems are engineered for exactly these duties, and the qualification protocol covers thermal cycling and aged-strength verification explicitly.
Small-pack economics, stated honestly
Specialty epoxy pricing is dominated by pack format: small syringes and kits with short shelf lives and minimum order quantities can inflate the true cost per gram well beyond the headline price. Incure matches pack sizes to your actual consumption — and publishes budgetary pricing with MOQs for every grade in the INCURE Assist™ portal — so the total-cost comparison includes expiry write-offs and freight, not just unit price. Where the comparison does not support switching, the report says so.
How the evaluation works
The seven-step conversion process applies: submit the Master Bond® product number and duty (temperature, conductivity, substrates, cure schedule), receive the closest Epo-Weld™ or UV candidates with database values, evaluate with samples, and qualify on documented evidence. Incumbent values come from Master Bond's current published data — never estimated.

Incure figures are database values for the referenced Incure grades (viscosity in cP); they are not measurements of, or claims about, any Master Bond Inc. product. Candidate suitability is always subject to application validation on your parts and process.
