Epoxy adhesive: the benchmark for structural bonding

What is an epoxy adhesive?

La epoxy glue is a two-component adhesive composed of a epoxy resin and a hardener which, when mixed together, react chemically to form a highly resistant bonding. 
It's one of the most powerful bonding systems for durably bonding metals, plastics, composites, wood, ceramics or concrete. 

Used in sectors as varied as theindustry, l'automotivethe building, l'aeronautics or thecraftsepoxy adhesive offers exceptional membershipa high mechanical strength and a resistance to extreme conditions.

Advantages of professional epoxy glue

This glue offers technical performance that makes it a structural bonding standard : 

  • Exceptional grip on a wide variety of materials. 
  • High mechanical strength tensile, shear, impact. 
  • Excellent chemical resistance solvents, oils, hydrocarbons, water. 
  • High thermal resistance up to +120 °C to +250 °C depending on the formula. 
  • High rigidity and dimensional stability. 
  • Low shrinkage on hardeningideal for precise adjustments. 
  • Electrical insulation in certain formulations. 

Industry and mechanical assembly 

  • Bonding metal partsironmongery, engines, casings, machine parts. 
  • Fixing structural components subjected to mechanical or thermal stress. 
  • Weld replacement in certain applications to make them lighter. 

Electronics and electricity 

  • Electronic board mountingIt provides protection against moisture, vibration and chemical attack. 

Construction and building 

  • Chemical seal in concrete, bonding threaded rods, structural reinforcement. 
  • Crack repair, stone bonding, assembly of load-bearing elements. 

Boating, aeronautics and space

FAQ - Epoxy adhesive

A two-component epoxy adhesive is made up of a resin and hardenerMix before application. This mixture creates a chemical reaction which forms a solid, rigid and resistant bond. It is ideal for structural bonding subject to severe constraints. 

Epoxy glue adheres to a wide range of materials metal, wood, plastic, glass, stone, concrete and composites. It is often used for technical collageseven on difficult materials, with adequate surface preparation. 

Depending on the formulation, an epoxy adhesive can withstand temperatures ranging from +120 °C to +250 °Cor even more for specialised versions. It remains mechanically and chemically stable under high thermal conditions. 

Le curing time depends on the formulation: from 5 minutes to several hours. Some quick-setting adhesives can be handled in 10 minutes, while others require a few minutes. 12 to 24 hours to reach their maximum resistance. 

Yes. Once hardened, epoxy glue is watertight and highly resistant to water, including immersion. It is therefore used for boating, wetlands or systems exposed to splashing water. 

Yes. Once hardened, epoxy glue can be sanded, drilled or paintedwhich makes it possible to rework or mask the bonding jointThis is particularly true for aesthetic and mechanical applications.
