Abstract: This article examines two-part epoxy adhesives, analyzing their composition, properties, applications, and performance advantages over other glue types. Relevant selection criteria are provided.
Keywords: epoxy adhesive, epoxy glue, two-part epoxy, AB glue, bonding
Epoxy AB glues consist of two parts - an epoxy resin and a curative hardener - that trigger a chemical reaction when combined to transform the liquid precursors into a solid thermoset polymer adhesive. This makes epoxies exceptionally versatile and durable adhesives.
The epoxy resins confer strong adhesive and cohesive properties while the curatives control factors like cure speed and expansion rates. Different formulations impart varied working times, temperature/chemical resistance, optical clarity and more.
Desirable Properties:
Strong rigid bonds (3,000 - 6,000 PSI)
Withstands harsh environments
Resistant to chemicals/solvents
Transparent optical clarity
Excellent adhesion to numerous materials
100% solids, zero VOC
Epoxy AB glues are widely used for bonding metals, plastics, glass, masonry, ceramics and other materials where high strength bonds are crucial. Their unmatched durability, versatility and strength make them ideal for structural gluing applications.
Conclusion:
For unmatched adhesive strength and durability compared to traditional glue types, rely on GORVIA’s epoxy resin AB formulations. GORVIA leverages cutting-edge epoxy technologies tailored for superior bonding, sealing, gap-filling and structural reinforcement.
