Epoxy structural adhesive, mainly composed of epoxy resin, is suitable for curing at room temperature or with heating. After curing, the bonding layer has moderate hardness and can withstand strong impacts and vibrations. The bonding layer also has good mechanical properties and electrical insulation properties, and can withstand temperature changes and flexural tear stress. Moreover, it is non-corrosive and has good adhesion.

Applications of Epoxy Structural Adhesives 

1. Automotive manufacturing: Epoxy structural adhesives are used to bond car bodies and chassis components, improving body strength and saving production time. 

2. Construction and decoration: Epoxy structural adhesives can be used as adhesives for decorating materials, such as bonding stone and wood flooring, making decoration and interior design more solid and beautiful. 

3. Electronics and electrical manufacturing: Epoxy structural adhesives can bond various components in electronics and electrical manufacturing, such as semiconductors, displays, and batteries, improving the quality and reliability of electronic and electrical products. 

4. Machining: Epoxy structural adhesives can be used for bonding and repairing mechanical parts, such as repairing mechanical seals, cylinder bodies, and gears. 

5. Aerospace: Epoxy structural adhesives are also used in the aerospace field, such as bonding the metal shells of aircraft and manufacturing solar panels.

Precautions for Use 

1. One-component epoxy adhesives are sensitive to temperature during curing. The above curing time refers to the time after the adhesive temperature reaches the corresponding temperature. If the adhesive temperature does not reach the required temperature, the curing time may be very long, or it may not cure. For objects with large volume, deep depth, and slow heat transfer, due to the heat transfer speed, the curing temperature should be appropriately increased or the curing time should be extended to ensure complete curing of the adhesive. During the curing process, if the amount of adhesive applied is too much or the temperature is too high, bubbles may be generated. In such cases, please appropriately lower the curing temperature. 

2. Try to avoid direct contact with skin during use. A small number of people may experience mild skin allergies with mild itching and pain after prolonged contact with the adhesive. It is recommended to wear protective gloves during use. If the adhesive gets on the skin, wipe it off with acetone or alcohol and clean it with detergent or soap. 

3. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet rays, which may cause the adhesive quality to deteriorate or self-react and become unusable. 

4. Do not expose to outdoor humid and hot conditions to avoid quality problems caused by moisture intrusion.
