Composites

The SCIGRIP range of MMAs are perfect when joining composite materials for example FRP, and RTM which are widely used in the automotive, transportation, construction, renewable energy and marine industries where design flexibility and performance are critical.

Why Composites?

A very important topic at the moment is lightweighting – the concept used to create lighter, more corrosion resistant, fuel efficient vehicles.

Bonding composites to make strong, complex but lightweight designs and avoid the use of metal reinforcements and fixings is a rapidly growing design choice. SG230HV and SG350L are two of our key solutions for these applications, offering long working times and excellent gap-filling for large or complex composite structures.

Benefits of using SCIGRIP MMAs on Composites

Dissimilar material bonding

Bond a wide range of composite materials with our adhesive while complementing or supporting the composite strength.

Improved aesthetics

Reduce bond line read through on post finishing requirements.

Durability

Excellent fatigue, impact and environmental resistance properties including harsh environments.

Design freedom

Support up to a 39mm bondline thickness without boiling using SCIGRIP’s unique technology, solving the common problem of thick glue lines to cope with dimensional inaccuracies in composite assemblies.
