Pre-applied Adhesives For Structural Applications: Pros & Cons

摘要

Most pre-applied adhesives are pressure-sensitive adhesives used in non-structural applications. These adhesives are noted for their convenience and relatively consistent bond quality. The use of pre-applied structural adhesives, such as epoxies and polyurethanes, is gaining favor for similar reasons. These adhesives have been used extensively in the aerospace, electrical, and communications industries, and are now becoming popular in more general industrial applications.
