Two component adhesives
Would you like to glue hard-to-join materials together?
A two-component adhesive makes a joint that is often stronger and can withstand heavier strains than the glued materials can separately!
Two-component adhesives are used to glue metals such as aluminium, copper, brass and steel and to bond many plastics such as ABS, PC, PE, PMMA and PP structurally. Read more
High strength
High strength is also obtained on glass, ceramics, wood, rubber, brick-work and many other substrates.
Two-component adhesives are therefore very suitable for the most demanding applications in the transport sector, the car industry and construction.
Properties
A two-component adhesive consists of a glue base and a hardener. The hardener can be an epoxy, a polyurethane or an acrylic. The glue can be applied with a spatula, but it is more efficient to use the EPX–system: a application gun that mixes and doses in one single action.
The glue only hardens when the two components are mixed with one another. It creates a durable, strong and flexible join which is resistant to extreme temperatures, vibration and environmental influences. Another great advantage is that this line has a high creep resistance.
Whatever properties you are looking for, there is always a two-component adhesive that unites these properties. Ask Tapir about the most appropriate two-component adhesive!
Two-component adhesives at Tapir Tapes
Tapir has many different types of two-component adhesives in its range: Hard adhesive types for applications with static load and high shear strength, flexible adhesive types for dynamic and shock loads but also tough adhesive types that combine the benefits of the other two types.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does 2-component glue need to dry?
A two-component adhesive does not "dry out", but hardens. a chemical reaction. This can be a cold or hot curing process.
- What is the best 2 component glue?
It doesn't exist. The adhesive is chosen based on the available information of the connection.
- Why 2 component glue?
Because the properties of 2-component adhesives are necessary to create a structural connection. Consider places that are difficult to access, high pressure or tensile force and the sealing capacity of the adhesive.
- How do you use a two-component glue?
This is processed with a processing gun and a mixing tube (mixing nose) to mix the 2 components.
- How do you dissolve 2-component glue?
You cannot dissolve a two-component adhesive. It is an irreversible process and once hardened it continues to exist in its existing form.
- What does 2-component glue consist of?
A two-component adhesive consists of a basic component (A) and an activating component (B). The activating component is also called the 'accelerator'.
