Introduction
Luma R&D Laboratories, part of Structural Adhesives Ltd, specialises in creating customised bonding solutions.
We address complex adhesive needs not met by Structural Adhesives Ltd.’s existing products, through dedicated research and development
Understanding Adhesives
Structural Adhesive Ltd, of which we are a division, offer a variety of adhesives like epoxies, silicones, polyurethanes and acrylics.
Each type is designed for specific uses, considering factors like curing time, temperature resistance, and material compatibility.
Factors to Consider
Material Compatibility:
Match the adhesive to the materials being bonded. Use primers if necessary.
Environmental Conditions:
Assess exposure to temperature, humidity, chemicals, and UV light.
Bond Strength:
Determine the type of stress (shear, peel, flexural) and the load the bond must withstand.
Application Process
Preparation might include cleaning, priming, and abrading surfaces.
Understand the application method (premix or two-part system) and the adhesive’s curing time.
