Epoxies Find Increasing Use as Structural Adhesives
Epoxy adhesives offer high shear strength while bonding efficiently to a wide range of substrates.
The global epoxy adhesives market is expected to reach $11.6 billion by 2026, according to a recent study by Polaris Market Research. Epoxy is increasingly being used as a structural adhesive across diverse industries. These adhesives offer high shear strength while bonding efficiently to a wide range of substrates, including wood, glass, and metal. They also provide minimal shrinkage, superior thermal and chemical resistance, and cohesive strength.
Epoxy adhesives can be altered and modified to deliver a wide range of properties and offer customized solutions. For example, toughened epoxy adhesives are used in the automotive, construction, and aerospace industries due to the need for greater strength and chemical resistance.
