Master Bond’s EP30-3LO
Two Component Epoxy
System Gets NASA’s Low
Outgassing Approval
Master Bond EP30-3LO is a two component epoxy system offering optical clarity,
high temperature resistance, and NASA
low outgassing approval. This combination of properties enables it to be suitable
for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation applications in the aerospace,
electronics, optical and optoelectronic
industries. This epoxy has a glass transition temperature exceeding 175°C. It also
withstands many chemicals, particularly
water, oils, acids, bases and solvents over
the wide service temperature range of
−80°F to +450°F. Often selected for potting applications, EP30-3LO features a
low viscosity and reliable electrical insulation values. With a non-critical 100 to
30 mix ratio by weight, this compound
cures with the addition of heat ranging
from 250-350°F. As it requires oven curing, EP30-3LO has a long pot life of 6-10
hours at room temperature. It bonds well
to a wide variety of substrates including metals, glass, composites and many
plastics and rubbers. EP30-3LO delivers
a one year shelf life in its original, unopened containers. It is available in standard packaging ranging from ½ pint to 5
gallon kits.

Benjamin Moore Inks Deal with the Chicago Cubs to Become
Official Paint of Wrigley Field
Benjamin Moore & Co. has entered
into a new partnership with the Chicago Cubs to become the Official
Paint of Wrigley Field and the Chicago
Cubs. This five-year partnership will
kick off by restoring the Marquee to its
green origins with gold trim to honor
Wrigley Field’s 100th birthday season.
Benjamin Moore will showcase
its products by temporarily painting
the iconic Wrigley Field Marquee to the colors featured from the 1930s era to commemorate the team’s 1930s-themed homestand this week. This project is a part of
the decade-focused celebrations happening to celebrate 100 years of Wrigley Field
throughout the season.
“We are excited to work with the Chicago Cubs during their incredible transfor-
mation of Wrigley Field,” said Dan Calkins, SVP of sales at Benjamin Moore & Co.
“This work will showcase a variety of Benjamin Moore premium products that will
perfectly restore and elevate the beauty of the Friendly Confines, whose heritage
and fan base are one of the most storied in baseball.”
The famous Wrigley Field Marquee was installed in 1934 and maintained a green
color for a couple years, until it was painted blue in the late 1930s, and then eventu-
ally updated in 1965 with the iconic red color it is today. Benjamin Moore will paint
the Marquee to match its original glory with Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior in Mal-
lard Green 2053-10 (for the green background) and French Quarter Gold 287 (for
the swirls on the Marquee). On May 22nd, Benjamin Moore will paint the Marquee
back to its modern red color with Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior in Million Dollar Red
2003-10.
“It takes high-quality products and expertise to maintain a 100-year-old ballpark,
which is why we’re excited to partner with Benjamin Moore as the official paint of the
Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field,” said Cubs vice president of Ballpark Operations
Carl Rice. “We’ll rely on Benjamin Moore’s paints to keep Wrigley Field looking its
best during our centennial season and know they’ll be a tremendous asset for our
future projects as well.”
A ceremonial first brushstroke kicked off the Marquee painting Wednesday, May
14, at 9: 30 a.m. CT. The first 1,000 fans received a limited-edition Chicago Cubs/Ben-
jamin Moore T-shirt. Consumers were also invited to contribute to painting a large-
scale baseball bat-themed mural on-site.
