SPECIALTY
ENGINEERING/STRUCTURAL ADHESIVES............are
called upon to bond "difficult" nonporous substrates such as metal, glass,
plastics and rubber, yielding assemblies with high performance
characteristics -- structural strength, resistance to heat and solvents,
etc. Leaders among these E/S adhesives are epoxy resins, polyvinyl
butyral, polyurethanes, cyanoacrylates, anaerobics, polyamides, polyester
and acrylics. They are high in value, averaging ten times the overall
average price. More than other adhesives, they tend to be 100% solids,
applied as hot melts or as curable liquids. These "high tech"
adhesives are thoroughly covered.
