1. What types of metal glue are there?
There are several metal adhesives on the market that you can advertise between. So there is the PU adhesive, the MS polymer adhesive, the 2K adhesive and the silicone adhesive neutral cross-linking. Of course, to find the right glue for a job, you also need to know what the glue is being used for.
2. Fields of application of metal adhesives
You can glue metal with the metal glue, that's very clear. When gluing metals, however, one can resort to different adhesives and must know what they have to offer. In order to have a good adhesive, one must also look at what processing time he has to offer. Sometimes you want the quick bonding, while in other jobs you are happy if the glue leaves some time to cure. In order to be able to stick metals, one should pay attention to the tough hardness and buy an adhesive, which has a long life.
If you decide for PU adhesive and MS polymer adhesive, you should know that these are overcoatable. For some metals very desirable! 2K adhesives have the advantage of fast bonding. Silicone metal glue again are very stable. Basically, you can use all metal adhesives for steel, brass, copper, stainless steel and aluminum.
3. Process metal adhesive correctly
If you want to glue aluminum and other metals, you have to do the work in a room that is well ventilated. Of course, when gluing metals, it must be ensured that all parts to be glued are absolutely free of grease, that they contain no dust residues and are thus ready for gluing. You can also use the Cleanprimer for this preliminary work. After cleaning, you must also make sure that all parts are absolutely dry and also have an optimal fit. Normally you can use the metal adhesive with different extrusion guns, so with compressed air gun, battery gun and hand gun. The minimum hardening time of adhesives is also dependent on the temperature, this must be considered.
4. Bond metal with other materials
You can also bond metals with other things, so there are good combination adhesive for metal and rubber, the basis is here in polychloroprene. There are also adhesives based on epoxy resin, which can be used for metals, ceramics, glass and various woods. The 2K adhesive can also be used for combination bonding of metal, ceramic or glass.
5. Conclusion
So there are several metal adhesives and which of them you use depends on whether you want a combination adhesive or how long the cure should last. Of course, as with all other adhesives, you must handle the metal adhesive carefully and make sure that all the parts to be bonded are free of grease and dust.
