Reversible adhesive offers solutions for repairs, recycling and more.
ElectRelease™, an epoxy resin capable of forming high strength adhesive bonds, is ideal for applications that necessitate semi-permanent bonding. A low voltage current, like a nine-volt battery, is used to release the bond, leaving the metal substrate unmarred, with virtually no chemical waste.
On the market for three years, the epoxy has been primarily used in aerospace applications, but ElectRelease creator Michael Gilbert says he believes there are other suitable markets for the product, including the appliance market.
