Adhesives
Adhesives, often referred to as glue, are used to join materials together by attaching themselves to the surface of the components to be bonded. Adhesives have been used for thousands of years to bond and decorate surfaces with veneers, fabrics and precious metals using glue derived from tree resins, bones and even eggs. The latest raw material technology now makes it possible for manufacturers to produce adhesives capable of structural bonding at dramatically reduced cure times.
Two part epoxies, single component hybrid polymers and polyurethanes form a range of adhesives that were previously only adopted by the automotive, aerospace and marine industries. Much of this technology has now trickled into the construction and engineering sector. Bonding challenges are often caused by the introduction of new materials and designs that prevent mechanical fasteners being used. There are also occasions where using an adhesive is simply faster than a mechaincal fixing and can offer other benefits such as a hidden joint and the elimination of stress cracking.
