The products operate over broad temperature ranges and join virtually all surface types. One-part epoxies have the strength and durability to replace mechanical joining techniques, such as welding, and serve a broad range of applications, including composites. Operating temperatures range from –65 to 450°F with shear strengths to 5,000 psi. They cure when heated and fill gaps to 0.16 in. Two-part epoxies provide high structural-bonding strength and durability. They fill gaps to 0.25 in. and cure at room temperature. Charts provide details on appearance, typical cure temperatures and times, temperature range, and applications.
