Backed by Arkema’s expertise, Bostik’s SAF structural adhesive product line is designed with patented methyl methacrylate technology. Comprised of five distinct grades, these strong and flexible solutions offer top tier elongation and elasticity as well as unmatched chemical, environmental, mechanical and fatigue resistance for many industry applications.
Additionally, with a smart viscosity formulation, these structural adhesives reduce product waste and improve application accuracy. Requiring minimal surface preparation, the SAF product line further enhances operational efficiencies, saving manufacturers time and money.
FEATURES
- Short open and fixture times, cure time of approximately 5 minutes
- Non-sag application on vertical surfaces
- Excellent environmental resistance
