Epoxies begin as reactive liquid polymers that undergo a chemical reaction when mixed, and then cure to form a solid plastic material. Once the two parts are mixed in their specified ratio, they begin the curing process and offer a limited working time where the adhesive can be applied and the two surfaces positioned as need. This work life lasts anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours or longer. These structural adhesives provide high shear and peel strengths, depending on the formula, and better heat and chemical resistance than other common adhesives. In general, epoxy adhesives have the highest overall strength and offer the best performance and resistance to high temperatures, solvents and outdoor weathering. Epoxy adhesives are widely used in building and home construction, aircraft and automobile manufacturing, military applications, bicycle, boat, golf clubs, ski and snowboard assembly and a host of other applications; virtually anywhere high strength bonds a
