CARBONIC CLEANING FOR ADHESIVE BONDING

摘要

CARBONIC CLEANING SAFELY AND CONSISTENTLY REMOVES CONTAMINANTS FROM MATERIALS TO PREPARE THEM FOR ADHESIVE BONDING. EPOXIES FORM STRONG bonds that can take thousands of newtons to break apart. However, the strength of the epoxy is directly related to the surface area and cleanliness of the substrates. More surface area allows an epoxy to form more bonds between materials, which is why sanding is a common pretreatment before adhesion. Roughening the surface increases the bonding area without increasing the size of the material.
