High Performance Structural Adhesives
Polyester
Polyester adhesives are widely used for their strong bonding capabilities across various surfaces. Known for exceptional durability and strength, they withstand harsh conditions while maintaining adhesion. Their resilience comes from resistance to temperature extremes, chemicals, UV exposure, and more.
Urethane
Polyurethanes are polymer-based adhesives used for constructions requiring high strength bonding and permanent elasticity. They are often offered as two-part adhesives and have many uses.Unlike epoxy adhesives, they require moisture to set, which means they can be used for projects where other types of glues are often unsuitable.
Acrylic
Acrylic adhesive is a versatile, solvent-based adhesive that has been widely used in various industries for its exceptional bonding properties. This adhesive is made of a synthetic polymer that provides a strong, permanent bond to a variety of surfaces.If speed is what you need, acrylic adhesives are your best bet.
Contact
Contact adhesives are elastomeric and are applied to both items being bonded together. Once the solvent evaporates, the items are brought into direct contact. These types of adhesives are found in rubber cement or countertop laminates.They offer strong adhesion to wood, processed boards (e.g. hardboard, supawood, chipboard, high pressure laminates, masonite, plywood), formica, veneers, floor coverings, foam, canvas, textiles, leather, felt, cloth, concrete, linoleum, glass, metal, rubber, cork and some plastics.
Epoxy
Epoxy adhesives reign as the superheroes of the glue world, renowned for their exceptional strength and durability. Comprised of two parts – resin and hardener – they must be mixed together before use.Once cured, they create bonds capable of withstanding heavy loads and extreme temperatures. Construction, automotive, and marine industries frequently rely on epoxy adhesives. Commonly used in aerospace, automotive, construction, and industrial applications, they bond metals, composites, glass, plastics, and ceramics.
