EP 8108 is a single-component, modified epoxy resin adhesive used for BGA (Ball Grid Array) and CSP (Chip Scale Package) bottom filling processes. It forms a uniform, defect-free bottom fill layer that effectively reduces the mismatch in the overall thermal expansion properties between the silicon chip and substrate, as well as the impact caused by external forces. Once cured by heat, the adhesive improves the mechanical strength of the chip connection and enhances the product's performance, thereby extending its lifespan.

Electronics assembly is a complex manufacturing process that depends on tight tolerances and delicate adhesive bonding. Most two-part adhesives require precise mixing and deliver weak bonding if the mixing ratio does not match. And the end result is underfilling voids that crack BGAs during reflow, and bonds that loosen after a few hundred thermal shocks. EP 8108 is a single-component, heat-curable epoxy that has simple formulation that deals with these issues. It flows where you need it, cures fast at 130°C, and stays rigid under vibration without stressing fragile components.
Buying adhesive by the syringe is not enough if you are doing large-scale manufacturing. Our supply is exactly for these kinds of demand. You buy by the or the pallet and your cost per gram shrinks as your volume grows. We structure wholesale pricing with transparent breakpoints, no tier surprises, and fixed rates for repeat orders. Our supply chain is regional and responsive: standard lead times under 5 days, emergency expediting available, and custom packaging (syringes, cartridges, or bulk pails) to match your dispensing equipment.
Do I really need to refrigerate this stuff, or is that just overkill?
Yes, refrigerate it but don't overthink it. Store between 2–8°C and it stays stable for a full 12 months. Leave it out at room temp for weeks, and you'll shorten that shelf life fast. Pop it in the fridge, thaw it to room temp before use, and you're golden.
2. Can I cure it faster if I crank the temperature above 130°C?
You can, but we don't recommend it. 130°C for 8 minutes is the sweet spot go hotter and you risk stressing nearby components or uneven curing. Stick to the spec. If you're in a real rush, talk to us about a tailored ramp profile; we've got options.
