### Adhesive Types

**Conductive adhesives** are a liquid solution that can be applied to create a thin and flexible layer of highly electrically conductive material to an area or device.Contact adhesives work very well in the woodworking industry when bonding High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) to other wood surfaces such as particleboard of plywood.**Epoxy adhesives** are a cost-effective alternative to welding & brazing. Epoxy adhesives are very strong, quick, and easy to use and generally found in construction applications. Use epoxy adhesive sealants to bond and protect surfaces from moisture and dirt.**Polyurethane adhesives** are a versatile adhesive glue that can be used on porous or non-porous materials. Polyurethanes adhesives consist of isocyanate-containing pre-polymers, predominately used for bonding wood, ceramics, stone, glass, and plastics.**PVC Adhesives** guarantee a reliable and lasting bonding of PVC materials. PVC adhesive also provides strain relief for cables and wires and can also seal against water spray and moisture.**Silicone adhesives** are a material comprised of elastomeric technology, resulting in excellent flexibility and exceptional high heat resistance. Silicone adhesives offer biocompatibility and can be applied to a combination of materials such as metal/plastics, metal/glass and metal/wood.**Thermal adhesives** are a type of adhesive commonly used to attach a heatsink to electronic components. They are thermally conductive and usually electrically insulating, helping to dissipate heat from the device to prevent overheating.

<p>Acrylic adhesives are thermoplastics that grip greatly to metals, glass, and polyesters. At ambient temperatures, acrylic adhesives are soft allowing them to flow under light pressure to make appropriate contact with the substrate &ndash; the ability to do so being of great importance when adhering to a rough surface.</p><p>Advantages of Acrylic Adhesives</p><ul><li>Cross-linkable</li><li>Very resistant in varying temperatures</li><li>Resistant to chemicals, ultraviolet light, and oxidation.</li><li>Colour stable</li><li>Easily removable and installable</li></ul>

<p>Contact adhesives depend on polymers that display the capacity to attach to themselves as dry glue films (auto-grip). You can glue together different materials such as carpets, vinyl, cardboard, or rubber. Contact adhesives work very well in the woodworking industry when bonding High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) to other wood surfaces such as particleboard of plywood. They are available in liquid form with the liquid being either solvent or water. Solvent systems can either be flammable or non-flammable. These products can be either spray or brush applied.</p><p>Our range of contact adhesives are sourced from leading brands such as; 3M, Alpha Adhesive  Sealant RS Components Ltd, Bostik, Gorilla Glue Europe RS Components Ltd, Loctite, Raytech and RS PRO.</p><p>Advantages of Contact Adhesives</p><ul><li>High shear strength</li><li>Resistant to the voltage spikes</li><li>Simple application</li><li>Excellent adhesion to non-porous materials</li><li>Fast-drying</li></ul>

<p>Epoxy adhesives are characterised by their excellent electrical properties and chemical resistance, strength and low absorption of moisture. They make great adhesives and are also one of the few types of glue that can be used on metals and glass. Epoxy is a two part adhesive that is formed when you mix epoxy resin and a hardener. These versatile adhesives offer high strength resistance to corrosion. The high strength to weight ratio and dimensional stability as well as adhesion properties make them ideal for a wide range of applications. Different resins are produced by varying the ratios of the chemical components.</p> <h2>What is epoxy adhesive used for?</h2> <p>Epoxy adhesives have a variety of uses and are essential when a reliable and strong bond is required, meaning they are often used in manufacturing or construction work. Other applications include general purpose adhesives for at home projects, and as a gap filler for reconstructions. The glue once hardened can be sanded, drilled and painted which results in a wider variety of applications.</p> <h2>How are they made?</h2> <p>Most epoxy resins are an industrial product derived from petroleum and are themselves the result of a chemical reaction called curing. This involves epoxies and other chemicals more commonly known as hardeners or curing agents. Depending on the type of reaction used to produce them, they can be either low-molecular honey-like liquids or high-molecular, solid substances. Their molecular weight often determines their potential uses and applications.</p> <h2>Advantages of Epoxy</h2> <ul><li>Low shrink during cure</li> <li>Excellent moisture and chemical resistance</li> <li>Good electrical properties</li> <li>Increased mechanical and fatigue strength</li> <li>Impact resistant</li> <li>No VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)</li> <li>Long shelf life</li></ul>
