Power tools and adhesives \u2013 the perfect match.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"Power<\/p>\n

Because power tool manufacturers face many challenges in building strong, reliable tools that can withstand the elements and the operators, it is no wonder they are continually in search of the strongest adhesive.\u00a0 The use of adhesives in place of other joining methods solves many of those challenges.\u00a0 Let\u2019s drill into why.<\/p>\n

Lighter tools – Adhesive bonding in place of mechanical fasteners allows for lighter materials to be used while increasing the overall strength of the tool.<\/p>\n

Efficient process – Adhesive bonding in place of welding yields significant time and labor cost savings. Joining with fasteners is another option, but a threadlocker is required in order to prevent vibration loosening.<\/p>\n

Weather resistance – Adhesives can seal as well as join, which can extend the life of power tools.<\/p>\n

Vibration resistance – Whether it is threadlocking a fastener or bonding two components together, adhesives unitize those pieces, preventing them from rattling against each other. This also helps keeps noise levels down.<\/p>\n

Optimize design – Advances in adhesive technologies provide solutions for bonding the high strength, robust, low surface energy plastics that are common in tool manufacturing.\u00a0 The design freedom adhesives provide engineers permits them to use the best materials for each component.<\/p>\n

So what is the best adhesive for metal bonding?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are a variety of adhesives for metal bonding.\u00a0 Depending on the type of metal, the surface treatment, the type of strength required, any number of adhesives could be considered the strongest adhesive for that particular application.\u00a0 Structural adhesives include one or two component epoxies, toughened acrylics, and many more.\u00a0 So which is the strongest adhesive? For purposes of comparison, we\u2019ll look at shear strength to steel.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s likely that the strongest adhesive bond between two pieces of steel will be a single component epoxy.\u00a0 Strengths can vary by product, but many achieve 4000(28 MPa) to 6000 psi (41 MPa).\u00a0 They are not appropriate for every application as they do require heat curing.\u00a0 A typical cure cycle might be either 130\u00b0C (266\u00b0F) for 75 minutes or 170\u00b0C (338\u00b0F) for 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

What if heat curing isn\u2019t ideal \u2013 then what is the strongest adhesive for metal bonding?<\/h5>\n

Two-component epoxies generally provide up to 3000 psi (21 MPa).\u00a0 Structural acrylic adhesives provide from 2000 to over 5000 psi (14 to 35 MPa) depending upon the type and grade. Structural acrylic adhesives are available in a few different varieties.\u00a0 There are two component acrylics that can be applied with a static mix nozzle similar to two-component epoxies as well as two-component acrylics which can be applied with one bead on top of the other.\u00a0 Another metal bonding option is to apply an activator to one surface and the adhesive to the other. There are also single component acrylics that do not require an activator when used on metals \u2013 however, these take longer to achieve handling strength.<\/p>\n

Where speed of cure and strength are required, No Mix Surface Activated Acrylics are preferred as handling strength can be achieved in a few minutes.<\/p>\n

More speed needed? Methyl cyanoacrylates exceed 4000 psi (30 MPa) shear strength on steel and achieve handling strength in under 15 seconds \u2013 however \u2013 they won\u2019t provide the high impact and peel strength of the structural epoxies and acrylics.<\/p>\n

The comparisons above were for steel \u2013 other metals may provide different strength comparisons.<\/p>\n

What is the strongest adhesive for plastic?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h4>\n

This question isn\u2019t as easy to answer because each plastic has different bondability.\u00a0 For example, when bonding polycarbonate, substrate failure can be achieved before bond failure with a number of adhesive types.\u00a0 Low surface energy plastics like polypropylene and polyethylene provide excellent properties designers seek \u2013 but they are difficult to bond.\u00a0 If we look at low surface energy plastics, there are really only two viable plastic adhesive options \u2013 either use a cyanoacrylate after treating with POP (P<\/strong>olyo<\/strong>lefin P<\/strong>rimer) or specialty structural acrylics like Permabond TA4610.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a look at a few of the applications<\/a>.<\/p>\n
