At Howcroft we also understand that there is an often bewildering variety of adhesives that are available from a range of adhesive manufacturers. It is however possible to simplify the choice of adhesive that is available by classifying the adhesive. The way in which this can be done is either by the way that the adhesive is used or by the chemical type of the adhesive. The strongest adhesives solidify by a chemical reaction and weaker varieties harden by some physical change. Some of the major classifications of adhesives are detailed below:
Toughened Acrylics - these adhesives are fast curing and offer high strength and toughness
Silicones - even though this form of adhesive is not very strong, they are known for their flexibility and high temperature resistance. They are also available in single or two part forms
Cyanoacrylates - these adhesives cure through reaction with moisture held on the surface to be bonded
Epoxies - these adhesives consist of an epoxy resin plus a hardener. They allow great versatility in formulation since there are many resins and many different hardeners. Epoxy adhesives can be used to join most materials. These materials have good strength, do not produce volatiles during curing, and have low shrinkage.
The above are just a few examples of the types of adhesives that are available to you and here at Howcroft we can more than likely supply you with whatever type of adhesive you need.
At Howcroft we may have the particular adhesive in stock and if not we can simply order in the adhesive that you need. We pride ourselves on our service and will ensure that every effort it taken to get you the product that you need.
