Epoxy adhesives have ability to adhere to a wide variety of materials. It has high strength, resistance to chemicals and environments, and ability to resist creep under sustained load properties. These epoxies are the most widely used structural adhesive. They are made of epoxy resins, which are in turn made up of the chemical bisphenol A. Epoxy adhesives can be used for adhesion of numerous substrates such as wood, metals, plastics, glass and stones. Epoxy adhesives require time for setting once apply on structure. Normally heat or by exposure to ultra violet light use to cure the adhesives
Epoxy adhesives are formed by the polymerization of resin and hardener. There is formation of covalent bond between epoxide group of the resin and the amine group of the hardener which produce rigidity and strength. Epoxy adhesives stick to a wide variety of materials, and their properties are dependent upon the specific chemistry of the system and the nature of the cross-linking available.
Epoxy adhesives are very high-performance adhesives providing high strength, high fatigue resistance, and high temperature resistance. These curing film adhesives require cold storage and have limited shelf-life after warming to room temperature. They are especially suited for bonding and laminating large areas. The major advantage of two component epoxy adhesives is that they are suitable for bonding nearly all substrates - metal, plastic, glass and ceramic, wood and wood products, and many types of rubber. In general, they have high resistance to physical and chemical influences and in addition they have high long-term stability because they only have a limited tendency to undergo creep.
Epoxy adhesives find extensive use in aerospace, automotive, building & construction and electronics semiconductor industry. Due to its properties, epoxy adhesives are used to join the blades of aircrafts. The semiconductor industry makes use of epoxy adhesives to manufacture printed circuit boards, integrated circuits and transistors.
