The adhesive can be used for structural and semi-structural bonding applications. The above-mentioned adhesive adopts a UV radical curing / thermal curing system, a UV cationic curing / thermal curing system; although better shear can be achieved between metals, between metals and glass, the obtained film needs low-temperature storage, which is not conducive to storage and transportation.

The epoxy adhesive composition has high impact strength at room temperature and high temperature after curing, and can achieve the requirement of high peeling, but needs certain hot pressing for positioning, which reduces work efficiency.

However, its open time is short, it has certain corrosiveness to metal, and affects the electrochemical insulation stability.
