Epoxy resins in the engine compartment
Adhesive classics
like one- and two-component epoxy resins, which have been used in mechanical
engineering for decades, play an increasingly important role in the engine compartments
of cars. Special enhancements open up new possibilities for design engineers.
For example, the DELO®
developers succeeded in achieving a temperature resistance of up to +280 °C
(+536 °F) and a long-term temperature of use of -55 to +200 °C (-67 to
+392 °F) for some types of DELO®-DUOPOX
adhesives.
Additionally, DELO®
epoxy resins are extremely resistant to transmission fluid and gasoline. At the same time
it is easy to process the adhesives and they can be integrated
well into production processes. They are used for such tasks as bonding and sealing electronic
housings or sensors.
