Application Assistance / Product Sample

For successful bonding, knowledge of adhesive methodology is essential. The most frequent causes of adhesive failure do not involve adhesive strength. Rather, they are attributed to inadequate substrate surface preparation and improper adhesive selection.

The most important factor in proper adhesive selection is assessing the environment the adhesive must withstand. Once the environmental factors have been recognized, adhesive selection becomes more easily defined, as other factors, such as joint design, substrates, load, stress cycles, and so on, can often be varied or altered with minor design changes.
