What Is an Epoxy Adhesive?
These adhesives can be made flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque/coloured, and fast-setting or slow-setting. In general, epoxy adhesives cured with heat will be more heat- and chemical-resistant than those cured at room temperature. The strength of epoxy adhesives starts to degrade at temperatures above 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius).
Types of Epoxy Adhesives
- One-part epoxy adhesives will cure when you apply sufficient heat and do not require a hardener. Easy to use and handle, they are best for light-duty applications or emergency repairs.
- Two-part epoxy adhesives consist of a resin and hardener that you mix to a certain ratio before applying. The bonding strength is superior to one-part adhesives for heavy-duty use.
- Flexible epoxy adhesives are made for use with flexible materials or when you need shock and impact resistance.
- Conductive epoxy adhesives contain additives to improve electrical conductivity.
- Waterproof epoxy adhesives have additional moisture resistance for marine and automotive use.
