Stronger bonds. Smarter chemistry. With built in silane adhesion promoters, Insulcast® RTVS 42 CURTIS II bonds exceptionally well to metals and plastics. Its hybrid chemistry blends the thermal resilience of silicones with the encapsulating power of epoxies – all in one system. Versatile. Reliable. Engineered to perform. It's all about Insulcast: https://lnkd.in/eguBrNvx #AdhesionTechnology #Insulcast #SiliconeEpoxyHybrid #MaterialsEngineering #ElectronicsProtection

A reliable system begins with a bond designed for the real world. Materials move. Temperatures change. Mechanical loads fluctuate. And through it all, the bonded assembly must continue to perform. Plexus® thermomechanical structural adhesives help engineers account for these interconnected demands by bringing durability, flexibility, and thermal performance together at the bond line. The result is more than a strong connection. It is a foundation for smarter, longer-lasting system design.

Customer Problem & Solution: Corrosion Repair at a Petrochemical Holding Tank Foundation Chemical holding tanks are heavy, dynamic structures. In petrochemical environments, stored materials, temperature variation, weather exposure, and standing water can place stress on the foundation and contribute to corrosion or erosion at critical seams. In this application, corrosion had begun to affect the holding tank foundation, requiring a repair system with resistance to moisture, environmental exposure, and potential corrosive chemicals. The repair process included: -Cleaning the repair area and removing debris -Drying the concrete to support adhesion -Applying Devcon® FL-20 Primer to metal surfaces -Applying Devcon® FL-10 Primer to concrete surfaces -Sealing the foundation seam with Devcon® Flexane® 80 Liquid Devcon® Flexane® 80 Liquid helped mitigate corrosion and provided a long-lasting repair capable of withstanding tank dynamics, moisture, and changing climate conditions at the petrochemical plant.

Polyurethane Adhesives Designed for Demanding Industries As power density rises across electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems, and data centers, engineers must account for more than thermal loads. Bonded assemblies also face repeated movement, vibration, material expansion, and mechanical stress. That is where Plexus® thermomechanical polyurethane adhesives add value. Their elastomeric properties allow bonded interfaces to accommodate movement while maintaining the structural integrity required for demanding assemblies. The result is a bonding strategy designed to support thermal cycling resistance, stress absorption, and long-term durability. Because in thermally active systems, adhesive selection is not simply an assembly decision. It is a reliability decision.

Lightweighting is influencing more than vehicle materials. It is changing how transportation assemblies are designed, manufactured, and evaluated for long-term performance. As OEMs adopt aluminum, composites, and engineered plastics, joining technology must support dissimilar materials while reducing weight, part count, and process complexity. Structural adhesives can help manufacturers align these design requirements with durability, production efficiency, and vehicle performance objectives. Our latest blog explains the strategic role of acrylic structural adhesives in transportation and EV manufacturing, including applications for Plexus® MA8000 Series and non-flammable Plexus MA7020.
