In-depth Analysis of Structural Adhesives

Many people, including some newcomers in the industry, are confused about the differences between high-temperature adhesive, thermal conductive adhesive, sealant, foam adhesive, etc. The structural adhesive we are going to talk about today, as the name suggests, is an adhesive invented for bonding structural parts in building materials. Structural adhesive has its own advantages and uses, just like other high-end materials.

1. What is structural adhesive?

Structural adhesives are high in strength (compression strength>65MPa, steel-steel tensile bonding strength>30MPa, shear strength>18MPa), can withstand large loads, and are resistant to aging, fatigue, and corrosion. They have stable performance within their expected lifespan and are suitable for bonding strong structural parts. General construction projects have very high requirements for the strength, durability, and corrosion resistance of adhesives. As we all know, the construction conditions of most buildings are very difficult, so they need to be able to cope with the requirements of the construction environment and construction technology, and they must be of good quality and low price.

2. Can other substances be added when preparing structural adhesives?

No, because structural adhesives focus on complete reaction. Adding solvents, diluents, adhesives with other ingredients, etc. to the original ratio may have side effects on the strength and durability of structural adhesives. If you need to add, try to consult the seller before making a decision.

When you encounter such raw material bonding and technical problems, especially those with more professional and personalized requirements for bonding, it is recommended to find professional agents that are more reliable, such as Qile Building Materials, which focuses on adhesive agent wholesale and can provide integrated adhesive application solutions, which are highly recognized by the industry.

3. Can structural adhesive come into direct contact with the skin?

No, structural adhesive is composed of a series of chemical substances. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will not only irritate the skin, but also be difficult to remove. Therefore, when using it, you must use it in a well-ventilated place and wear work clothes to avoid direct contact with the skin.

4. How to store structural adhesive?

Everyone knows that there are requirements for the storage of materials such as adhesives, and structural adhesives are no exception. They must be placed in a dry and ventilated place, and structural adhesives that have exceeded their shelf life must be tested to confirm that they meet the requirements before use.
