Instant Adhesives Guide
This guide explains what design engineers need to know about selecting instant adhesives, a category of materials you can find on Gluespec. Instant adhesives bond quickly, but with bonds that can have up to more than two tons of holding power. Often, this strength is greater than that of the bonded materials themselves. The general advantages of these products include their ease of use and short clamping times.
Static Mixers for Adhesive Dispensing
Static mixers (static mixing nozzles, mix tips) are used with adhesive cartridge systems or meter mix dispensing systems. This article explains how to select them and describes attachment configurations for disposable static mixers.
Adhesive Selection For Semiconductor Packaging, Flip-Chip Attachment, And Wafer Bonding - Q&A
Semiconductor packaging adhesives are used to attach dies or chips to the substrates on which semiconductor devices are packaged or fabricated.. Learn more about the adhesive selection process and common problems and solutions.
Primers and Surface Preparation for Proper Adhesive Wetting & Bonding - Q&A
The best way to get two things to stick together with glue is to use adhesive primers or an adhesive promotor. You can also roughen the surface, etch the surface, or use plasma, flame, or corona surface treatments. But which is best for you? Find out here >>
Plastic Bonding with Adhesives - Considerations Q&A
Plastic bonding uses adhesives instead of fasteners to join plastic substrates together. These substrates can be made of the same type of plastic, or they can be made of different types of plastic. For design engineers who are looking for the right solution, this Q&A from Gluespec® provides answers to frequently asked questions.
