As Advanced Engineering UK approaches, let’s explore how adhesives play a key role in lightweighting electric vehicles by enabling the use of composite materials. Unlike traditional fasteners, adhesives don’t damage composite structures, making them essential for increasing the lifespan and effectiveness of EV components. Adhesives support high-strength bonds without adding bulk, allowing manufacturers to harness composites’ lightweight benefits. Want to learn more?

Only one week to go until Advanced Engineering UK We’re excited to showcase some of our top products tailored for composite applications at Stand V124. Here’s a sneak peek: 🟦 Aerok 8040: Known for its durability in automotive, marine, and aerospace. This epoxy ensures water, heat, and corrosion resistance for demanding applications. 🟦 Aerok 7020: Ultra high-strength adhesive with minimal surface prep and extreme heat/chemical resistance—perfect for tough environments. 🟧 Purok VX70: Ideal for vehicle manufacturing, where heavy vibrations and dynamic loads are expected. 🟧 Purok VX85: Flexible bonding for composite, metal, or thermoplastics, with reduced MMA odor but no compromise on performance. #Innovation #CompositeMaterials #Adhesives #Automotive #Aerospace #Marine #advancedengineering

Bonding composite materials, such as aluminum composite panels (ACM), can be a tricky process due to the differing physical properties of these materials. The key to a strong, reliable bond lies in choosing the right adhesive and considering factors like surface energy, thermal expansion, and environmental exposure. Adhesives like MS polymer and methyl methacrylate (MMA) are among the top choices for their flexibility and strength. However, careful surface preparation is essential for a successful bond. There’s no universal solution—understanding the specific requirements of your materials is crucial. Check out the full guide here: https://lnkd.in/ep_qhVEC

When it comes to adhesive application, consistency is key—and that starts with the nozzle. A small mistake in bead width can lead to weak spots, product failure, or costly rework. However, the way many operators cut nozzles by hand introduces unnecessary variability and wastes valuable time. Pre-cut nozzles can improve precision, speed up production, and enhance quality control—a small change that can make a big difference in adhesive application. #Adhesives #Manufacturing #Efficiency #PrecisionMatters #ProcessImprovement #LeanManufacturing

When it comes to adhesive application, technique matters more than you think. One of the most common mistakes we see is using S-shaped beads instead of straight lines. While the S-pattern may seem quicker or easier, it can introduce issues down the road that weaken the bond. Here’s why straight lines are superior: ✅ Even Distribution: Straight lines ensure the adhesive spreads uniformly when pressure is applied, creating a consistent bond. 💧 Prevents Moisture Trapping: S-beads can leave pockets or gaps where water and moisture collect. Over time this can cause issues such as corrosion or unnecessary increase in weight. 💪 Longer-Lasting Results: Clean, linear application minimises the risk of air bubbles and inconsistencies, giving the adhesive its maximum strength. #Adhesives #Bonding #ProTips #PrecisionMatters #ApplicationTechnique #StrongerTogether
