Metal bonding adhesives

It is often convenient to use a special adhesive instead of traditional welding in order to attach metal surfaces. Professional equipment or special skills are not needed for its application. The metal bonding adhesive does not affect properties of the treated elements, but provides reliable attachment of parts.

Types of metal bonding adhesive

• Cyanoacrylate agents. Their advantage  is hardening very quickly. They harden  by exposure to air humidity. They are suitable for bonding small parts of different materials.
• Acrylic bonding adhesives. They are used if necessary to attach metal with plastics or rubber. Often hardening of the gluing substance is performed due to a special activator. There are also acrylic bonding adhesives, which harden due to reaction with UV-rays. They are mostly used for bonding metal with glass.
• Epoxy products. Bonding adhesives of this type are characterized by good adhesion. Often they are suitable for the elements, which are not exposed to strong vibrations. They can be used for attachment of most metals and alloys: aluminium, steel and others.
• Anaerobic products. Their peculiarity lies in the fact, that they harden at contact with metal at absence of air. Thus, they are perfect for narrow gaps.

Composition

The active ingredient directly depends on a product type. Thus, in the epoxy bonding adhesive for metal, the epoxy resin is used; in anaerobic – dimethacrylate esters. Moreover, the products can contain plasticizers, activators, solvents and other additional components.

Tips on metal bonding adhesive use

Before using the product, necessarily study the instruction and specify, if it is compatible with the materials of elements, which are about to be bonded. As a rule, the surface should be cleaned, dried and deoiled before application of the agent.

Take into account, single-component products are ready to use, while two-component ones presuppose mixing of the separately packed products: active ingredient and activator. The latter can be also applied on the surface before bonding adhesive use.
