Araldite® adhesive proves tough enough for outdoor sign assembly
To reduce assembly time, industrial and corporate sign manufacturer SR Signs, Burnley, Lancashire, UK, is bonding sign frames and other components with methacrylate adhesive rather than welding or riveting joints.
After testing the handling, strength and environmental characteristics of a number of different adhesives, SR Signs selected Araldite® 2021 adhesive for bonding its signs. The two-component, room-temperature curing methacrylate supplied by Huntsman Advanced Materials is tough enough to reliably join aluminum frameworks and projecting fascia to composite sheet, foam and acrylic flat panels as well as fabricated sign components.
