Structural Adhesives
Structural Adhesives for Strong, Permanent Bonds
Structural adhesives, sometimes called load-bearing adhesives, include any adhesive that can create a bond strength of 1000 psi or more and is considered a permanent bond. Structural adhesives are typically resistant to shocks, impact, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Because of their great strength, they have numerous applications including in the automotive, aerospace, marine, construction, and medical industries to name a few.

FAQs About Structural Adhesives
Structural adhesives are strong, high-performance adhesives that come in one-part or two-part systems and can cure through chemical reactions, heat, or UV light. They are typically used for bonds that require a great amount of strength.
Structural glues are used for bonding load-bearing components in a wide range of industries and applications like construction and manufacturing. They are a strong and durable alternative to traditional mechanical fastening methods like screws, bolts, and welding.
The "best" structural glue adhesive depends on your specific application. Some common types of structural adhesives are below.
Epoxy Adhesives: Known for their strength and resistance to extreme temperatures, moisture, and chemicals.
Acrylic Adhesives: Offers quick bonding and clarity, making them ideal for use in transparent or visible applications.
Polyurethane (PUR) Adhesives: Known for their flexibility, high-impact resistance, and ability to absorb shock and vibration.
Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue): Offers fast bonding and is ideal for small, precise bonding applications.
