Dayton-Granger 16307 Silver Conductive Epoxy Adhesive – 1 oz Kit for Aerospace Avionics
Dayton-Granger 16307 Silver Conductive Epoxy Adhesive (610-1016) is a specialized two-component epoxy filled with silver particles to provide both structural bonding strength and electrical conductivity. It is specifically formulated for aerospace avionics applications where creating an electrically conductive adhesive bond is required — such as bonding EMI shielding panels, grounding straps, antenna components, and electronic assemblies where solder cannot be used.
The silver particle filler in the epoxy matrix creates a three-dimensional conductive network through the cured adhesive film, enabling current flow between bonded components while the epoxy binder provides structural attachment and environmental protection. This dual function — structural bond plus electrical conductivity — makes silver conductive epoxies essential for avionics applications where mechanical and electrical connections must be established simultaneously.
The 1 oz kit format is ideal for maintenance and repair operations where small quantities of conductive adhesive are required for avionics component replacement, EMI gasket bonding, and localized shielding repairs on aircraft electronic systems.

Technical Information
Silver-filled conductive epoxies like the Dayton-Granger 610-1016 achieve electrical conductivity through percolation of silver particles throughout the crosslinked epoxy matrix. The silver content is selected to exceed the percolation threshold — the minimum filler concentration at which particles form continuous conductive pathways through the adhesive from one bonded surface to the other. Above this threshold, the bulk electrical resistance of the adhesive film drops dramatically, enabling practical electrical conductivity.
The epoxy binder provides the structural integrity of the bond, holding the conductive silver filler particles in intimate contact at both bonded surfaces and throughout the adhesive thickness. The fully cured epoxy resists the vibration, thermal cycling, and humidity exposure encountered in aircraft avionics bays, maintaining both the mechanical bond strength and electrical conductivity throughout the expected avionics service life.
Proper mixing ratio of base and hardener must be followed exactly to achieve the specified electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. Ratio deviation can result in incompletely cured epoxy with reduced conductivity and bond strength. Surfaces should be cleaned and lightly abraded before bonding to remove contamination and maximize adhesive contact area.
