Composite and plastic bonding
Composite And Plastics Bonding Adhesives
We offer a wide range of carbon fiber composite and plastic bonding adhesives. The adhesive you require will depend on the operating requirements on the finished part therefore we offer a range of different adhesive chemistries to suit all requirements.
MMA adhesives are our preferred solution when we are looking for a strong structural bond to different composite substrates (including SMC), and between those composite substrates and most other substrates, regardless of the type of fiber reinforcement or matrix resin.
When manufacturing clear display cabinets and machine guards from ABS or Acrylic, traditional solvent based adhesives are normally used. However, the drawback with these adhesives is they are difficult and unsafe to work with and they do not give an optically clear finished bond line. We offer a range of optically clear adhesives which can give you superior finished products than can be obtained with traditional solvent bonding.
Epoxy Adhesives offer excellent chemical and temperature resistance when bonding plastic composites, they are particularly suited when the bonded part will be exposed to elevated temperatures or chemicals.
Click your chosen area of interest to learn how our extensive range of Composite And Plastics Bonding Adhesives can assist you in a variety of applications.
1. Clear Adhesives
When manufacturing clear display cabinets and machine guards from ABS or Acrylic, traditional solvent based adhesives are mainly used. However, the drawback with these adhesives is they are difficult and unsafe to work with and they do not give a clear bond line.
When it is critical to have an optically clear bond line clear adhesives are your best solution.
ECT Adhesives offer a range of crystal clear adhesives which will help you achieve the best results every time.
