Question:What is the best way to prepare my aluminum surfaces for bonding with epoxy or acrylic adhesives?
Answer:This is a complex subject. Aluminum has been widely used in the aerospace industry for many years. Most recently, it has become a very important metal in vehicle body manufacturing. The metal and its alloys can be bonded successfully with a range of adhesives; epoxies and acrylics are very suitable. It is quite common for adhesive manufacturers to quote technical data on both steel and aluminum substrates.
