    How do I prevent white powdery residue when using instant adhesives?

    Frosting – Blooming – Chlorosis – Whatever you call it, we all recognize it as the unattractive white stuff that can sometimes occur when using instant adhesives. The residue is a byproduct of the cure process of the adhesive. Once the monomer is in vapor form, it will react with moisture in the air, cure, and settle on the surface around the bond area. The short answer to how to prevent blooming or frosting is “fast cure”, or, choose one of the specialty low blooming cyanoacrylate formulations.

    Help! I’ve got air in the bond line!

    The troubleshooting process begins with a thorough knowledge of the processes leading up to, and including, the application of the adhesive. There are many possible causes for failure of bonded components. Before suspecting air in the bond line as the source of failure, double check the adhesive selection, the application process and the working environment. Make any necessary corrections Read: Help!

    Chemicals used with Industrial Adhesives – What are they and what do they do?

    Primers, Cleaners, Etchants, Initiators, Activators, Accelerators and Surface Conditioners are all examples of different chemicals that are used in conjunction with some adhesive applications in order to achieve desired results. The requirements of the process will guide the selection of the appropriate chemical. In some cases the substrates must be primed, in other instances the adhesive cure is triggered with an activator.

    Understanding climate factors related to choosing an adhesive

    Adhesive properties can be affected by temperature and humidity in both the cured and uncured state, so it is important to establish proper storage and to manage the work environment. Every country in the world undergoes seasonal changes, some more extreme in range than others. Global transportation methods encounter changes in environment as well. The result is variable and inconsistent levels of heat and humidity which, in most cases. Read: Understanding climate factors related to choosing an adhesive Read

    Design with Adhesives in Mind

    Review your challenge with the adhesive manufacturer. Due to the uniqueness of each application, there are no design standards or safety margin limits to aid designers working with adhesives. Very often there are multiple factors which can affect a bond such as chemical exposure, stress or load, heat or time. There are no calculations to prove that the adhesive will tolerate the conditions. Read: Design with Adhesives in Mind Read
