Applicable Base Polymer Properties
Similar to toughened epoxy adhesives, the addition of toughening agents to acrylic adhesive formulations leads to increased peel and impact strength and greater durability and reliability due to more efficient transfer of stress to the rubbery phase. Also like the toughened epoxies, structural acrylic adhesives were found to be outstanding at bonding unprepared or oily metals. Structural acrylic adhesives can also be cured very fast (several minutes at room temperature), and they have excellent adhesion to many plastics and composites.
