Designed with patented methyl methacrylate technology, Bostik’s SAF structural adhesive product line offers unmatched chemical, environmental, mechanical and fatigue resistance for many industrial applications. Able to bond a wide range of dissimilar substrates, including composites, metals and plastics, the SAF product line features high elongation from 30-250%, smart viscosity formulation, minimal surface preparation and a wide range of open and curing times.
FEATURES
- Excellent environmental resistance
- Permanent toughness even after aging
- Minimal surface preparation
- Metal bonding
- High impact
APPLICATIONS
- The optimum qualities are obtained at room temperature, between 64 – 82°F (18 – 28°C) without post-curing.
Follow the instructions on the product operating guide or contact your Bostik representative for any information concerning product use or dispensing equipment.
