Structural adhesives <\/strong><\/h1>\n

Structural<\/a>\u00a0glue\u00a0<\/a>have excellent load-bearing capacity, shear loads and resistance to chemicals. The adhesive is a thermo hardening adhesive and has good results when it comes to strains under extreme conditions<\/strong>. Structural adhesives have a shear strength starting at 7Mpa<\/strong> and are therefore very interesting to use. These adhesives can be used to form strong<\/strong> and durable<\/strong> bonds<\/strong> with for example metals, glass hard plastics and rubbers. Another example of such adhesives is the ability to reduce the cost of ownership through low direct and indirect costs. The versatility and applicability within the assembly and manufacturing industries are also reasons why many companies use these adhesives.<\/p>\n

Origin<\/h2>\n

Epoxy, which originated in the 1940s, is known as one of the oldest synthetic chemicals used to develop adhesives. It is also one of the most versatile and usable adhesives<\/strong> with a large number of reaction substances. These adhesives offer the ability to work at both high and low temperatures. In addition, they can be used flexibly or rigidly at both heavy or brittle loads, so there are many possibilities for Epoxy. These adhesives are used for structural<\/strong> bonding<\/strong>, where high loads must be possible. They are often used in sectors as aviation, defense and the industrial transport sector. Especially in these industries are requirements regarding temperature and\/or exposure to chemicals.<\/p>\n

In addition to Epoxy,\u00a0 Methacrylate <\/a>\u2013 and\u00a0Polyurethaneglues <\/a>\u00a0are also adhesives used as structural adhesives. \u00a0Each product has its own advantages and disadvantages. Acrylates are strong and have a flexibility that is especially applicable in dynamic applications.<\/p>\n
