News - Methacrylate Structural Adhesives

NovaWeld two-part methacrylate structural adhesives comprise of a resin and initiator, or a resin/hardener that quickly cure to a strong thermoplastic bond with excellent resistance to peel, shear and impact stress.

They offer a higher peel strength and better temperature resistance than epoxy or PU giving incredibly high ultimate bond strengths across a wide range of difficult to bond substrates, including;

  • steel
  • aluminium
  • magnets
  • polycarbonate
  • composite materials
  • ceramics
  • engineering plastics
  • sheet moulded compounds (SMC)
  • glass fibre reinforced polyester

The speed of cure means that bond assemblies can be subsequently processed much quicker. The initial reaction rate is slow allowing re-positioning of bonding parts, but after a short induction period, the exothermic reaction increases with rapid strength build-up.

They are formulated to perform in the harshest environments and offer a primer-less solution yet still offer increased strength and flexibility for structural load bearing requirements. Novaweld two-part methacrylate structural adhesives are a 1:1 mix, require minimal surface preparation and cure rapidly at ambient room temperature.

Choose your structural glue….

Select from our Novaweld product range with specifications for cure times, temperature, viscosities and aesthetic appearance.

High temperature structural adhesives can withstand multiple powder coat paint cycles, whilst clear glues, such as Novaweld , will contribute to a finished product that looks as good as it performs.
