EpoxySet to Showcase Extensive line of Biocompatible Adhesives at MD&M West
December 9, 2025 | epoxySetEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
EpoxySet Inc. will be featuring the expanded line of adhesives, sealing, encapsulating and coating materials certified for biocompatibility at MD&M West on February 3-5, 2026, at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA, Booth 711.
This broad line of epoxies and urethanes are ISO-10993-5 approved. These are used extensively in medical devices manufacturing. Most common applications include sensors, PCBs, instruments, hearing aids, ultrasound probes, pacemakers, MRIs, endoscopes and catheter products. Many of these systems can withstand sterilization techniques such as autoclave, gamma radiation and EO sterilization.
The product line includes products that can withstand 300°C or be temperature cycled down to 4°K. Many biocompatible materials are optically clear or electrically/thermally conductive. Specific products are designed for structural requirements exhibiting very high bond strength. Some chemistries can be cured at room temperature, heat or UV, allowing for production flexibility.

Beyond IPC-2152: Creating Technology-specific Current-carrying Capacity Design Charts Using Thermal Modeling
01/29/2026 | Mike Jouppi, Thermal Management LLCDesigners commonly size traces using online calculators based on IPC-2221 or IPC-2152 charts, selecting width and thickness for a given current and allowable temperature rise (ΔT). Consideration is given to parallel conductors, although this is not a practical evaluation method for most designs. An important aspect of trace heating, especially groups of traces, is the power dissipated by the conductors. Unfortunately, the power dissipation or a method for accounting for power losses in the traces/conductors or planes is not straightforward.
