Nowadays, adhesives are required in many household appliances, communication devices, transportation vehicles, and even in security equipment, new energy sources, military electronics, aerospace, intelligent manufacturing, and medical devices. With such a wide range of applications of adhesives, do we really understand them? What are their advantages?
Firstly, it can bond various materials with different elastic moduli and thicknesses, especially thin materials. The bonded surface is smooth, providing good aerodynamic performance. Its sealing and corrosion - resistant properties are also excellent. Most importantly, it can extend the service life of the bonded parts and reduce their weight.
To ensure the quality of the adhesive during use, the following points should be noted:
(1) Select the adhesive that is suitable for the specific use.
(2) Consider both high adhesive strength and good durability.
(3) Do not use adhesives that have exceeded their storage period or shelf - life.
(4) If a one - component adhesive is stratified or precipitated, stir it evenly before use.
(5) For multi - component adhesives, mix them in the specified proportion and ensure they are well - blended.
(6) Do not simply use butt joints.
(7) Try to use lap joints, scarf joints, sleeve joints, and hybrid joints.
(8) Do not make the lap length too long.
(9) For laminated adhesive materials, do not use lap joints; instead, use scarf joints.
(10) Add screws or rivets, curl the edges and wrap the corners to prevent peeling.
There are numerous categories of adhesive products, each with different functions and uses. When making a choice, it is essential to select the appropriate adhesive according to the product, material, and the application scenario.
Adhesives have advantages such as heat resistance, low pollution, and non - destructive bonding. In the current environment - friendly context, the application and market of environmentally friendly adhesives will only continue to expand.
