Adhesives for high temperatures 07 July 2022

WEICON has developed the WEICON Easy-Mix HT 250 adhesive with a very high temperature resistance, especially suitable for applications in the field of powder coating.

Available now, this two component epoxy resin system has a high temperature resistance up to +200°C and can withstand temperatures up to +250°C for a short period of time. The system shows high thermal conductivity and keeps over 80% of its strength even at constantly high temperatures. This allows users to bond components that are thermo-coated (powder coated) after full cure.

The expoxy resin adhesive has a long pot life of 150 minutes, cures at room temperature and can be mechanically processed after curing. Plus, it shows high resistance to aggressive substances, such as hot and cold water, engine oil and glycol.

This new adhesive from WEICON GmbH & Co KG can be used in powder coating, metal construction, lightweight construction, mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, electrical engineering, and many other areas of industry.
