Epoxies
-
Epoxy adhesives
consist of an epoxy resin plus a hardener.
They allow great versatility in formulation
since there are many resins and many different
hardeners. Epoxy adhesives can be used
to join most materials. These materials
have good strength, do not produce volatiles
during curing, and have low shrinkage.
However, epoxies can have low peel strength
and flexibility and can be brittle. Epoxy
adhesives are available in one part, two
part and film form and produce extremely
strong durable bonds with most materials.
