STRUCTURAL ADHESIVES

The primary purpose of structural adhesives is to form strong, load-bearing bonds between two or more substrates, capable of transferring significant loads for the product's lifetime, often to replace traditional mechanical fasteners like bolts and welds. They achieve this by providing high strength, distributing stress evenly over the bond area to prevent stress concentrations, joining dissimilar materials, improving durability, and allowing for lightweighting and enhanced aesthetics.
