Adhesives recomendation

Sep 09, 2003 2 Replies

All, I am looking for some recommendations on low modulus, low shrinkage adhesives for bonding glass and metal. Epoxy, cement, RTV's are all viable choices.



Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Thanks in advance, Dave

I would avoid the contact adhesives, solvent loss will cause shrinkage. It is hard to make a recommendation without knowing more about your application. What is the service temperature range? Is it an assembly line or occasional use? What environment is the part subjected to(water immersion, freeze/thaw,outdoor/indoor), is cost an important factor? Do you have a skilled, semi-skilled, or unskilled workforce?-Jitney
