Structural adhesives range expanded with black M7 grades

Scott Bader has added two grades of methacrylate primer-less structural adhesives, M7-05 Black and M7-15 Black, to its Crestabond M7 range. These two 1:1 mix ratio grades are in addition to existing black grades, which have previously only been available in the M1 (10:1) range.

The two black coloured M7 grades offer fatigue and impact resistance, gap filling capabilities up to 5mm, and minimal surface preparation required prior to bonding. Crestabond M7-05 Black has a working time of four to seven minutes and a fixture time of 18 to 22 minutes. Where a longer open time is beneficial, the Crestabond M7-15 Black grade offers a working time of 10 to 20 minutes and a fixture time of 30 to 45 minutes.

The M7-05 Black and M7-15 Black are suitable for bonding a wide range of engineering material substrates such as: FRP, stainless steel, aluminium, cold rolled and galvanised metals, ABS, acrylic and polycarbonate in applications for motorsports, high performance and luxury cars, electric vehicles, racing yachts, and sports equipment.
