- General Information about MMA Adhesives
2-component methacrylate adhesives belong to the group of reactive adhesives. The reaction starts by mixing hardener and resin. Cyberbond offers these adhesives in double cartridges in 1:1 or 10:1 ratio with static mixing tubes. This allows an easy and quick application. Methacrylate adhesives are available in different viscosities from liquid to paste-like and with different curing times. They are characterized by excellent adhesion to metals, many plastics and composite materials. The mechanical properties range from flexible to rigid.

Resistance Against Solvents
Solvent Resistance Weak acids very good Weak bases very good Polar solvents limited Strong acids and bases limited Measurement of Viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow-ability of a liquid. Cyberbond measures the viscosity of the products by means of the cone/plate method: the liquid is applied on a panel and a defined cone presses the liquid together and rotates. Newtonian fluids are measured at shear rate 160 s-1, thixotropic products are measured at shear rate 0,5 s-1 and 160 s-1. The viscosity is measured in mPa*s at 20 °C.
