FAQs About Structural Adhesives
Structural adhesives are strong, high-performance adhesives that come in one-part or two-part systems and can cure through chemical reactions, heat, or UV light.
Structural adhesives are used for bonding load-bearing components in a wide range of industries and applications like construction and manufacturing. They are a strong and durable alternative to traditional mechanical fastening methods like screws, bolts, and welding.
The "best" structural adhesive depends on the specific application and materials being bonded. Some commonly used and highly regarded structural adhesives include:
Epoxy: Known for its strength and resistance to extreme temperatures, moisture, and chemicals.
Acrylic: Offers quick bonding and clarity, making it ideal for use in transparent or visible applications.
Polyurethane (PU): Known for its flexibility, high-impact resistance, and ability to absorb shock and vibration.
Cyanoacrylate (super glue): Offers fast bonding and is ideal for small, precise bonding applications.
Ultimately, the best structural adhesive will depend on the project you're working on and your application needs.
