Two-component, solvent-free epoxy adhesive material provides high adhesion to metallic substrates while also withstanding high movement or cyclic fatigue.
Structural adhesives can be used for affixing metal substrates or components as they provide high modulus and high strength, yet they are not currently internationally recognized like traditional methods even though adhesives are used in a range of industries.
The market is expected to grow as two-component adhesives are increasingly used to replace traditional adhering methods such as manual screwing and soldering.
Whether using a silicone adhesive in an aerospace assembly or manufacturing silicone bakeware, post-cure for silicone is not a process that belongs in the past.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may find that post-curing can bring value to certain applications. To determine if post-cure is the best option, it’s important to better understand what is happening during the process, the advantages it offers, and key best practices.
Epoxy adhesives offer high shear strength while bonding efficiently to a wide range of substrates.
May 9, 2022
The global epoxy adhesives market is expected to reach $11.6 billion by 2026. These adhesives offer high shear strength while bonding efficiently to substrates like wood, glass, and metal. They also provide minimal shrinkage, superior thermal and chemical resistance, and cohesive strength.
The FLEXcon® L-59FR series flame-retardant adhesive portfolio, featuring a self-extinguishing, non-halogenated flame-retardant adhesive, has been expanded to include both 2 mil and 4 mil adhesive coat weights as either a transfer tape or coated film.
