As the advantages of structural epoxy adhesives become more apparent, new curing agent technologies can help facilitate a more sustainable adhesive product.
Rising need for lightweight, high-strength materials in the automotive and construction sectors, as well as growing demand for high-performance materials in wind power and aerospace industries, is set to drive demand for epoxy resins over the forecast period.
The global epoxy adhesives market is expected to reach $11.6 billion by 2026. These adhesives offer high shear strength while bonding efficiently to substrates like wood, glass, and metal. They also provide minimal shrinkage, superior thermal and chemical resistance, and cohesive strength.
Master Bond EP21AC is a two-part epoxy with a non-halogenated filler that is formulated for applications where arc resistance and flame retardancy are required.
After more than 20 years of sharing his expertise and wisdom in the monthly Ask Dr. Dave column, Dave Dunn has retired as a columnist. Here we share some of his most popular columns over the years.
Master Bond EP40TC is a two-part epoxy system designed for bonding, sealing, and encapsulating applications where thermal conductivity and electrical insulation are required.
Automotive adhesive tapes are lighter than mechanical fasteners such as screws and fasteners and simplify the automobile manufacturing process. The global automotive adhesive tapes market was valued at $8.7 billion in 2020 and is expected to account for $13.8 billion by 2028.
Can you recommend an adhesive for bonding a polystyrene part to glass for a consumer product? The adhesive needs some good strength, and it must be clear, cure quickly, and be easily used by relatively non-skilled operators. The final product will be used indoors and might suffer occasional impacts.
Many adhesives will probably do the job, such as tough acrylics and epoxies. The simplest to source and start with might be a clear 5-min epoxy, dispensed from a twin-syringe and fitted with a static mixer.
