We have a problem maintaining adhesion to two steel surfaces at divergent temperatures because of the response of materials to thermal conditions when going through heating and cooling cycles.
We are using epoxy adhesives to bond steel substrates that are exposed periodically to both 150˚C and as low as 0˚C. Our problem is in maintaining adhesion to the two steel surfaces at such divergent temperatures because of the response of materials to thermal conditions when going through heating and cooling cycles. Do you have any suggestions?
The products are the result of a successful partnership with Dow, which developed the AFFINITY RE bio-based polyolefin elastomer that can effectively substitute fossil-based materials.
