Deepmaterial Technologies Epoxy Adhesives
One Part Epoxy Adhesive consists of a single component designed to cure and form a strong bond at room temperature or with the application of heat. Epoxy resin base is formulated with a curing agent or catalyst that remains dormant until exposed to specific conditions, such as air, moisture or heat. Once activated, curing agent initiates a chemical reaction, resulting in the cross-linking of polymer chains and the formation of a strong, durable bond.
Two Part Epoxy Adhesive consists of two separate components: a resin and a hardener, which are mixed in a specific ratio just prior to use to initiate a chemical reaction, leading to the curing and hardening of the adhesive, causing it to cross-link and form a strong, durable bond.
