Adhesives
to 450 F, demand precise mixing equipment, and are relatively brittle. Acrylic adhesive formulations tolerate dirtier and less-prepared surfaces than other structural adhesives. They challenge epoxies in shear strength -- up to 6,000 psi -- and offer flexible bonds and superior peel and impact

Stick With the Right Adhesive

Where adhesives beat mechanical fasteners
for epoxies but they are less chemical resistant. Activator-curing acrylics and LCMs have several compelling advantages. One is an almost instantaneous cure or fixture. Bonded joints also have high peel strength and toughness. Compared to cyanoacrylates, they generally have superior properties, particularly

Bonding low surface energy plastics
to bond to LSE plastics. But they've often had to compromise performance at high heat and with chemicals to better wet out the LSE surface. A relatively new acrylic PSA technology now bonds to a wide variety of LSE plastics while maintaining excellent high-temperature and chemical resistance and high-peel

Tougher and stronger glue
disassembled unless high heat is applied to breakdown the adhesive. Structural adhesives. Structural-adhesive technologies include epoxies, acrylics, methylmethacrylates (MMAs), modified silanes, and polyurethanes. Adhesives can be tailored to deliver processing and performance benefits. For example, adhesives

Tape eases appliance design pressures
-density polyethylene. By incorporating plastics in their design, manufacturers can reduce the weight of an appliance while making it more durable. Acrylic-based adhesive tapes provide aggressive tack and peel for quick bonding and long-term adhesion. They also protect against damage caused by water, detergent

Guidelines for Bonding Plastics
for automated production. Early cyanoacrylates exhibited low impact and peel strength, low-to-moderate solvent resistance, and operating temperatures only as high as 160 to 180 F. However, newer formulations address many prior limitations. For instance, rubber-toughened cyanoacrylates feature
