Sealants are used to close gaps and prevent debris from entering, while adhesives bond surfaces together. Sealants are more malleable and contain quick-drying resins, while adhesives are stiffer and have complex structures for stronger bonding. Adhesives require thorough cleaning and treatment for proper adhesion, while sealants usually don’t. Hybrid products exist but may not work […]
Acrylic adhesive is a versatile binding agent with variations in chemistry for different purposes. It can be sold in liquid, paste, and tape form and designed for permanent or removable installation. The chemical design balances shear, release, and tack performance characteristics. Polymers improve adhesion and the viscosity of the material is often related to the […]
Metallic adhesives like polyurethane, epoxy, resin, and Liquid Nails® are recommended for joining metal pieces. Polyurethane is strong, flexible, and water-resistant, while epoxy fills gaps and resists impact and chemicals. Resin is slow to dry, but acrylic dries quickly and withstands extreme weather. Liquid Nails® is inflexible and waterproof. Proper preparation of the metal and […]
