Understanding 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 provide a limited working time for applying the adhesive and positioning the surfaces as needed. This work life can range from a few minutes to several hours.
Epoxy adhesives offer high shear and peel strengths, depending on the specific formula, and superior heat and chemical resistance compared to other common adhesives. They are known for their overall strength, excellent performance, and resistance to high temperatures, solvents, and outdoor weathering.
Epoxy adhesive, often referred to as epoxy glue, finds wide usage in building and home construction, aircraft and automobile manufacturing, and the assembly of bicycles, boats, golf clubs, skis, and snowboards. It is also popular for various home use and other applications. These adhesives are favored for their ease of use, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Formulations can be tailored to create epoxy adhesives suitable for bonding wood, metal, glass, stone, and various plastics. Whether flexibility or rigidity, transparency or opacity, quick setting or slow setting is required, epoxy adhesives can be formulated to meet almost any bonding requirement.
