1.1 The specification covers a two-part modified epoxy paste adhesive for bonding metallic and nonmetallic materials. The adhesive should be suitable for forming bonds that can withstand environmental exposure to temperatures from –184 to 82 °C [–300 to 180 °F] when exposed to an expected combination of stress, temperature, and relative humidity to be encountered in service.

Note 1: When coordinated through the Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), this practice will be a direct replacement of MIL-A-82720 (OS), MIS-26872, and MSFC-SPEC-2037.

1.2 The values stated in SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this specification.

1.3 The following precautionary statement pertains to the test method portion only, Section 8, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.


The specification covers a two-part modified epoxy paste adhesive for bonding metallic and nonmetallic materials. The adhesive should be suitable for forming bonds that can withstand environmental exposure to a certain temperature range when exposed to an expected combination of stress, temperature, and relative humidity to be encountered in service. Two types of adhesive shall be classified according to composition. Type I which consists of two-part kits of liquid base and modified amide liquid accelerator. Type I is further subdivided into two grades: Grade 1 with low viscosity and Grade 2 with high viscosity. The other classification is Type II which consists of premixed, frozen, Type I, Grade 1 or Type I, Grade 2. Different tests shall be conducted in order to determine the following mechanical properties of the adhesives: room-temperature shear, high-temperature shear, low-temperature shear, room-temperature Shore D hardness, room-temperature T-peel, and outgassing characteristics such as total mass loss and vacuum condensable material.
