Different materials don’t always move the same way.
Metals, plastics, and composites can expand and contract differently as temperatures change. When they are bonded within the same assembly, that movement can place stress on the bond line.
SAF methacrylate structural adhesives are designed for bonding a wide range of substrates, including metals, plastics, and composites. Their flexibility can help accommodate differential thermal expansion when joining dissimilar materials.
When selecting a structural adhesive, consider not only bond strength, but also how the materials will behave together over time.
