Structural adhesive films allow designers to be more creative with their pieces while also reducing the overall number of rivets needed on your structure.
This thermosetting modified epoxy film can be used to bind substrates such as metal and glass. In general, structural adhesive films are available in a range of weights and thicknesses to save weight while retaining structural integrity.
The aerospace, automotive, and electronics sectors frequently use structural adhesive films as bonding materials. They offer a strong, long-lasting bond between two or more substrates, including metal or composite materials, and are used to join these substrates together.
Epoxy, acrylic, and polyurethane films are some popular kinds of structural adhesive films. Hot pressing, vacuum bagging, and autoclave curing are just a few of the techniques that can be used to apply these films.
The Structural Adhesive Film accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
3M Scotch-Weld Structural Adhesive Film AF 46 is a 1.0 mil thermosetting, nonvolatile polyamide epoxy film adhesive designed for metal and glass structural bonding. Over a wide temperature range, this lightweight, easy-to-handle film has high shear, peel, and cleavage strengths.
A thermosetting epoxy film adhesive with outstanding adherence to glass and metal, 3M Scotch Weld Structural Adhesive Film AF 46 is manufactured by 3M. Its shop handling qualities are simple to use, and it is light and low tack. With respect to film clarity when in contact with a solid surface, this 1.0 mil thick film has flexible cure cycles.
Low bonding pressures are often necessary to achieve adhesion. With strong shear, peel, and cleavage properties across a wide temperature range, AF 46 provides dependable, long-term durability and aids in overcoming obstacles for metal and glass bonded structures.
This heat-curing, user-friendly film is made to adhere to several customer specifications to produce aircraft. In a variety of environmental conditions and over a wide temperature range, AF 46 offers high shear, peel, and cleavage strengths.
For use in a variety of environments, it offers excellent bond strength once cured from 67°F to 350°F (55°C to 175°C). The LOCTITE EA 9378 trademark is used by Henkel to market a novel structural adhesive film.
On a wide range of substrates, comprising metals, composite materials, and plastics, the product is developed to offer exceptional bonding performance. The 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Adhesive Film AF 163-2 is part of a new line of structural adhesive films that 3M has released.
Because to its great strength and stiffness in both low- and high-temperature conditions, the product can be used in a variety of applications. The series of film adhesives from Toray offers long-lasting structural bonds that withstand heat and extreme conditions.
Toray top prepreg technologies are also compatible with Toray’s structural adhesive film. Toray offers film adhesives for ultra-lightweight structures with weights as low as 0.015 lbs per square foot (75 gsm). The film adhesives from Toray offer a strong structural bond. Two substrates can be joined together very well using structural adhesive bonding.
