Adhesives

Adhesives can be attractive alternatives to traditional fasteners that handle high temperatures and corrosion.

Leakproof glued joints in plastic assemblies are a cinch if the surfaces are clean.

The epoxy has a forgiving cure ratio which can be varied for more rigidity or better impact resistance.

The foams are intended for sealing and shock absorption in handheld-electronics applications.

The two-part epoxy meets FDA and NSF requirements.

The promoter helps parylene coatings bond to polyimide and other plastics.

The adhesive works well in automated solar-panel fabrication.

Solaro Energy, Lake Elsinore, Calif., makes a solar-powered fan that automatically vents attics. The assembly requires a strong adhesive to bond the solar panel to the top of the fan

Avoiding adhesives with chemical sensitivities

Here’s how engineers can select adhesives, sealants, and coatings that withstand harsh chemical environments

The 210-page guide covers Loctite products.

The epoxy works as an adhesive, encapsulant, or potting compound.

The epoxy meets NASA outgassing specifications and mixes in a 1:1 ratio.

The adhesives cure on exposure to light. Unexposed areas use a moisture-cure mechanism.

The epoxy cures at room temperature and bonds a range of materials.
