Structural adhesives will bond almost anything
Two multi-purpose structural adhesives from Symonds Cableform have such good surface adhesion, flexibility and high mechanical strength when cured that they will bond almost anything.
4505 is particularly effective for bonding dissimilar materials or where elevated temperatures or thermal cycling forces are present.
This two-part, 1:1 mix, primerless adhesive cures at room temperature and can be used to bond metals, ceramics, plastics (including PVC, ABS and FRP) and composites.
Cured performance shows excellent adhesion and bond strengths to ceramics, sintered metals, aluminium, steel, galvanised steel, plated metals, glass, SMC and other fabric reinforced plastics.
Tensile shear tests revealed that the plastics broke before the bond failed and that 18N/mm2 was required to part a stainless steel bond - aluminium was 15N/mm2.
The company claims that impressive figures were also recorded for impact and peel strengths.
Major uses include bonding tubed products, white goods, automotive and outdoor items.
