Engineering Adhesives: Overview and Applications
Engineering adhesives are materials used to bond two or more surfaces together in mechanical, structural, or electronic assemblies. They provide an alternative to mechanical fasteners, welding, or soldering and help distribute stress across bonded surfaces.
Types of Engineering Adhesives
Epoxy adhesives: Consist of two components that, when combined, form a strong, rigid bond suitable for metals, plastics, and composites.
Acrylic adhesives: Fast-curing adhesives that provide good adhesion to a variety of materials, including metals and plastics.
Polyurethane adhesives: Flexible adhesives that absorb vibrations and allow for slight movement between bonded parts.
