-Preventing leaks
-Preventing corrosion
-Wider choice of substrate materials
-Better noise and vibration absorption
Following is a list of just a few of the industries that use our products.
–Aerospace – cabin interior
–Automotive – lightweight carbon fiber sports cars and aftermarket parts
–Sports equipment
-Medical prosthetics
-Tanks and vats
–Marine
–Wind Energy
–Vehicle conversions, caravans, and campervans
-Architectural, building facades, signage, and interior design
Permabond one-component heat cure epoxies, two-component room temperature cure epoxies, and flexible modified epoxies are popular for bonding composites. The following are a few examples:
Both two-component and surface-activated structural acrylics are commonly used. For instance, consider TA4246, a surface-activated structural acrylic with very fast strength development. Activate one surface with Initiator 46 and then apply the adhesive to the other surface. Then you will achieve handling strength in under 5 minutes.
Two-component polyurethanes are a great choice for bonding carbon fiber interior trim.
