Structural adhesives operate at up to 200C
Bondmaster has a range of single and two-part structural adhesives that is capable of operating at continuous temperatures of up to 200C.
E3332 has high adhesion in both peel and shear stressed joints.
This makes it ideal for use in dynamically loaded assemblies where high strength and impact resistance are required.
E3332 is rubber toughened so that its impact resistance and durability in service are excellent.
The combination of toughening and high bond strength make E3332 the perfect adhesive for bonding dissimilar surfaces such as aluminium, thermosetting plastics, composites and ferrous metals.
E3332 is also very easy to use; it has an open-time of 2h, which means that it is possible to bond large surface areas and structures giving time to realign components during assembly.
The generous open time ensures that waste can be minimised during use and fewer mixing nozzles are consumed.
The adhesive mixes easily in a 1:1 ratio, is non-stringing, has low odour and does not emit flammable vapour.
E3332 cures in approximately 8h at room temperature but cure can be accelerated by warming.
E3332 will fill gaps of up to 10mm and cures without shrinkage.
The unopened adhesive has a storage life of 12 months.
