Adhesives
Acrylic & MMA adhesives
Structural acrylic and methyl-methacrylate systems cure rapidly and tolerate many practical substrates and less demanding preparation than aerospace epoxies.
In simple terms
Structural acrylic and methyl-methacrylate systems cure rapidly and tolerate many practical substrates and less demanding preparation than aerospace epoxies.
Best for
Fast assembly, dissimilar materials, large composite panels and impact-tolerant industrial joints.
Watch out for
Odour and flammability controls, exotherm, bondline limits, surface compatibility and lower high-temperature capability than specialist epoxies.
Typical applications
Marine decks, vehicle panels, wind components, housings and production bonding.
