Epoxy: Everything you need to know - Loctite
What is epoxy glue, and what are its uses? An epoxy is a two-part adhesive that forms when you mix epoxy resin and hardener. The two substances are stored in different containers and are only mixed together when you’re ready for gluing – which you can do using a double syringe, for example.
Epoxy
Epoxy has a wide range of applications, including metal coatings, composites, use in electronics, electrical components (e.g. for chips on board), LEDs, high-tension electrical insulators, paint brush manufacturing, fiber-reinforced plastic materials, and adhesives for structural and other purposes.
Loctite Plastic Bonder, 0.85 fl oz, 1 Syringe
Loctite Plastic Bonder is ideal for larger household repairs on PVC, polycarbonate, acrylic, ABS, FRP, nylon, Mylar, Delrin, phenolic, aluminum, stainless steel and many other plastics. From the Manufacturer For over 50 years, Loctite has provided customers with advanced adhesive and sealing solutions.
Loctite Epoxy Plastic
Loctite Epoxy Plastic can be used as an adhesive for a wide range of plastic materials or as a versatile filler for gap filling, surface repairs and laminating. Loctite Epoxy Plastic does not shrink and is resistant to water and most common solvents. It can be tinted with earth pigments, cement, or sand for color matching.
Bonding PVC Plastic with Epoxy - Epoxyworks
First I cleaned the plastic surface with PVC cleaner and then applied a thin film of PVC adhesive and wiped off the excess. The PVC adhesive acts as a primer for WEST SYSTEM Epoxy, greatly enhancing its adhesion to this plastic. Be sure to use a very thin film of the PVC adhesive and let it dry to the touch before applying the epoxy.
- Can epoxidized soybean oil be used as a plasticizer for PVC?
- Compounds derived from vegetable oil have been widely used as a plasticizer or secondary thermal stabilizer for PVC. For example, the effect of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) as a plasticizer on the mechanical and thermal properties of PVC has been studied [Bouchareb and Benaniba, 2008].
- What are the plasticizers used in PVC processing?
- There are many plasticizers used in PVC processing, one of those plasticizers is phthalate esters. Phthalate esters are petroleum-based products which are the most commonly used plasticizers in PVC processing.
- Does epoxidized WCO plasticizer provide better compatibility with PVC?
- While the production of epoxidized WCO plasticizer was reported, very limited information was available on the introduction of epoxy groups to the ester bond in WCO. It is expected that WCO-based plasticizer with a higher epoxy value could provide better compatibility with PVC.
- What are the plasticizing effects of synthesized plasticizers in PVC?
- The plasticizing effects of the synthesized plasticizers in PVC as plastisol viscosities, thermal stability, glass transition, tensile properties, hardness, migration stability, exudation loss, and volatility stability were measured and compared to DOP.
- Does plasticizer improve thermal stability and flexibility of PVC?
- Compared with commercial dioctyl phthalate plasticizer, the plasticizer developed in this study improved the thermal stability and flexibility of PVC along with a lower glass transition temperature. The plasticizer showed marginal volatility and excellent resistance for migration in PVC matrix. The mechanism behind such observation was discussed.
- Can PVC be used as an environment-friendly plasticizer?
- The perspective of using the developed material as an environment-friendly plasticizer for PVC was outlooked. Waste cooking oil (WCO), mainly generated in urban areas from high consumption of refined vegetable oils, cause serious environmental and economic problems every year [Kulkarni and Dalai, 2006].
