Factors to consider when ordering rubber adhesives and bonding agents
Date：2016-04-11 Categories：Company News
| Viscosity | A measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow, the viscosity will determine the amount of bonding agent or rubber adhesive dispensed on a substrate. |
| Full cure or set time | The ‘drying’ time of a bonding agent or rubber adhesive depends on the curing temperature and varies greatly among thermosetting systems. |
| Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) | The amount of applied stress required to cause failure in a control specimen, with bonding agents and rubber adhesive, under tensile load conditions. |
| Elongation | The amount of permanent deformation after a controlled tensile test. |
| Shear strength | The shear maximum shear load per unit cross-section that a bonding agent or rubber adhesive joint can withstand before mechanical failure or breakage occurs. |
| Maximum use temperature | The temperature range to which a bonding agent or rubber adhesive can be exposed without degradation of structural or other required end-use properties. |
