Important factors to consider
The following factors should be taken into account when ordering rubber adhesives and bonding agents for your application:
- Viscosity: A measurement of a fluid's resistance to flow, the viscosity will determine the amount of bonding agent or rubber adhesive dispensed on a substrate.
- Full cure or set time: The 'drying' time of a bonding agent or rubber adhesive depends on the curing temperature and varies greatly among thermosetting systems.
- Ultimate tensile strength (UTS): The amount of applied stress required to cause failure in a control specimen, with bonding agents and rubber adhesive, under tensile load conditions.
- Elongation: The amount of permanent deformation after a controlled tensile test.
- Shear strength: The shear maximum shear load per unit cross-section that a bonding agent or rubber adhesive joint can withstand before mechanical failure or breakage occurs.
- Maximum use temperature: The temperature range to which a bonding agent or rubber adhesive can be exposed without degradation of structural or other required end-use properties.
