Whether it’s an automotive application or an electronics application, engineers are increasingly looking for adhesives that offer high performance at high temperatures. To meet this demand, the adhesives industry has developed a range of products that meet structural, sealing and encapsulation requirements even at temperatures in excess of 200 C.
Although heat-resistant adhesives can bond at high temperatures, it is important to remember that they are still not as strong at high temperatures as they are at room temperature. However, when used correctly, these adhesives will remain permanently stable and perform their function due to the close cross-linking of the polymers.
