Applicable Base Polymer Properties
Thermosetting acrylic adhesives are rubber-toughened systems that cure rapidly at room temperature to provide a crosslinked structural adhesive suitable for bonding metals, engineering plastics, and many other substrates with minimal surface preparation.
A very interesting advantage of thermosetting acrylic adhesive is their tolerance of surface contamination. They provide good bond strength with unprepared metal substrates such as oily steel. However, for optimum results standard surface preparation techniques should be employed.
