Epoxy Adhesives

Epoxy adhesives are a major part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives". These high-performance adhesives are used in the construction of aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, golf clubs, skis, snowboards, and other applications where high strength bonds are required. Epoxy adhesives can be developed to suit almost any application. They are suitable for bonding nearly all substrates - metal, plastic, glass and ceramic, wood and wood products, and many types of rubber. In general, they have high resistance to physical and chemical influences and in addition they have high long-term stability because they only have a limited tendency to undergo creep. Depending on the type, they can withstand continuous temperatures from 95°C up to 200°C. Cured adhesives are typically hard and rigid and range from brittle to tough depending on CHEMICAL COMPOSITION.


How 2-part epoxy adhesives work.
Hardening of epoxy mass occurs automatically as a result of a chemical reaction, independently of weather conditions, after mixing two components of the same volume. Bonding time, depending on a kind of adhesive, can vary from several minutes to hours. A joint is thought to obtain full parameters after 24 hours. The Technicqll 2-part epoxy adhesives are offered as semi-fluids, pastes and putties to provide superior performance benefits in applications.
