Knowledge Basics of adhesive technology

Below you will find an overview of the basic influencing factors in the field of adhesive technology.

We distinguish five main types of load

In many applications, tapes and adhesives have to be resistant to chemical influences.

Soft-set adhesives generally have a higher initial tack than hard set adhesives.

Generally a good adhesion is achieved on a material with a high surface energy. Bonds are critical on low energy surfaces.

An important parameter for a functional adhesion is the optimal preparation of substrates, so highest possible adhesion can be archieved.

Temperature resistance strongly depends on the types of loads that occur during the application as well as the forces and length of exposure

Primarily for outdoor applications additional factors such as UV radiation,...
