They offer primerless adhesion for SMC and prepared metals, rubber and fiber reinforced plastics. Various cure times available. Cyanoacrylates are ideal for production situations requiring instant bonds and immediate handling strength. They produce very strong bonds in rubber, metals and plastics. Setting times range from 5 to 130 seconds.
Hot melts create almost instant bonds in a wide variety of materials.
Adhesive is applied to both surfaces, let dry, and then pressed together to create an instant bond. Contact adhesives make good bonds in most materials but are not structural in strength. Anaerobics are specialty adhesives designed to cure on metals in the absence of oxygen. They are primarily used to anchor threaded joints and shafts against breaking free due to vibration. They can eliminate the need for lock washers and press fitted metal joints.
