The adhesives materials allows joint substrates with different geometries, sizes and composition. With the adhesive we can joint glass, plastics, metals, ceramics ...
The use of adhesives eliminates the corrosion associated with dissimilar metals joining with different galvanic potential, such as the joining of steel with aluminum.
The use of adhesive as bonding material does not produce any deformation in the materials or substrates, eliminating metal grinding processes (grinding and putty), reducing the manufacturing cost and improving the aesthetics of the product.
Do not produce any mechanical aggression to the substrate, avoiding any damage to the structure of the material.
Great flexibility in the product design as well as an improvement in its aesthetics.
Reduction of the product weight, in the case of traction vehicles (cars, ships, locomotives ....) weight reduction is directly linked to reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions to the environment.
Time to cure - The final strength of the adhesive bond is not obtained immediately, unlike the case with a rivet or a screw, you must wait a time to solidify or cure the adhesive, this time depends on the choice of adhesive to be used, and also sometimes it depends on the environmental conditions that make the bonding process. If you want to reduce this waiting time you can use a chemical booster compatible with the adhesive. Resistance to temperature - Adhesives are polymer-based materials, for this reason the adhesives and glues have an average resistance to temperature, adhesives silicone-based are more resistant to temperature adhesives, that kind of glues can withstand temperatures reaching point of 800 °C.
