Cleaning and surface pretreatment are directly related in many industries. Traditional pretreatment methods such as alcohol wiping or air nozzles are used to clean off contaminants and prepare surfaces for adhesion.

It may be a one- or two-part system. We need temperature resistance up to 500˚C, and the adhesive will be applied to fill small gaps in a hot mild steel structure. The required initial setting time is 5 min.

Sika Corp.’s Sikaflex-501 is a one-component silane-terminated polymer (STP) universal sealant.

You don’t indicate which substrate is on the outside, and this does make a difference in the possible choice of adhesive. Epoxy adhesives were traditionally used for this application, but they should be used with care as they may be too rigid.

Master Bond EP17HTS-DA is a one-component, no-mix, die-attach epoxy that is electrically conductive and withstands high temperatures.

Mactac recently announced its recognition as the first pressure-sensitive adhesive manufacturer to have products listed in the BioPreferred program established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

How do you make adhesives for electronics, vehicles, and construction tougher? By making them weaker.

Styrene-isoprene-styrene polymers can be used to eliminate the need for end-block resins in elastic laminate bonding applications.

The 3M VHB tape LSE series is reportedly a fast, easy, and reliable bonding solution for low-surface-energy (LSE) substrates like polypropylene (PP), thermoplastic olefins (TPO), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), as well as composite materials like glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP).
