Epotek MED-OG198-54 is a single-component, UV-curable medical epoxy engineered for rapid processing and high flexibility. Because the adhesive is tested for biocompatibility to ISO 10993 standards (sections 4, 5, 6, 10, and 11), it is well suited for bonding and sealing medical components that must flex or withstand mechanical vibration, such as catheters, flexible endoscopes, and patient-monitoring wearables. As a result, device manufacturers can specify a single adhesive across several biocompatibility-sensitive assemblies. OnBoard Solutions supplies this EPO-TEK® MED formulation to medical device manufacturers who need documented biocompatibility testing for regulatory submissions.
Epotek MED-OG198-54 Features
- Single-component formulation that cures under UV light in seconds
- Reaches full structural strength quickly, drastically reducing assembly time
- Low viscosity simplifies coating of delicate electronics and small components
- Excellent light transmission supports optically demanding medical assemblies
- Reliable seal against moisture and biological fluids over the product’s service life
- High glass transition temperature keeps the cured bond compliant and low-stress
- Suited to bonding and coating plastics and metals used in medical hardware
- Stable for 12 months when stored at room temperature
Applications
This adhesive provides a flexible yet durable joint that survives rigorous handling, so it helps protect the long-term functional integrity of complex medical technologies. Consequently, manufacturers rely on it for bonding and sealing plastics and metals used in technical medical hardware, including catheter assemblies and wearable sensors. Because cure time is measured in seconds rather than hours, production lines can maintain higher throughput without compromising bond quality. Additionally, its clear, low-viscosity composition and high Tg make it a practical companion to Epotek MED-OG116-31, another biocompatible option in the same OG series, for teams standardizing on one adhesive family. For full technical specifications and cure profiles, see the manufacturer’s datasheet.
Overall, Epotek MED-OG198-54 gives medical device engineers a fast-curing, biocompatible option for flex-critical bonds without sacrificing optical clarity or long-term reliability.
