What are Epoxy Adhesives?
Epoxy adhesives belong to the class of adhesives known as "structural adhesives," which also includes polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and others. These adhesives are formulated as liquid reactive polymers that undergo a chemical reaction when mixed and then cure to form a solid plastic material. Once the two parts are mixed in their specified ratio, they begin the curing process and offer a limited work life where the adhesive can be applied and the two surfaces positioned as needed. The work life can range from a few minutes to several hours. Epoxy adhesives provide high shear and peel strengths, depending on the formula, and offer better heat and chemical resistance compared to other common adhesives. They have the highest overall strength and perform exceptionally well in high-temperature, solvent, and outdoor weathering conditions.
Epoxy adhesives find wide applications in building and home construction, aircraft and automobile manufacturing, bicycle, boat, golf clubs, ski and snowboard assembly, as well as various home use and other applications. They are used wherever high-strength bonds and resistance to environmental conditions are required. These adhesives are popular for their ease of use, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Formulations can be tailored to make epoxies flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque, quick-setting or slow-setting. The versatility of epoxy adhesives allows them to meet almost any requirement for bonding wood, metal, glass, and stone.
Industrial uses for epoxies extend beyond adhesives and include coatings and composite materials such as carbon fiber and glass-reinforced composites. They are preferred for their ability to flow and conform to the work area, strong adhesion, chemical and heat resistance, as well as exceptional mechanical and electrical insulating properties.
