Overview of Plexus MA320 Acrylic Adhesive
The Plexus MA320 is a two-part methacrylate adhesive known for its structural bonding capabilities, especially suited for thermoplastic, metal, and composite assemblies. This adhesive stands out for its robust performance across various applications, including transportation, marine, wind energy, and engineering construction.
Key attributes include a mix ratio of 10:1, a color range including off-white, white, and black, and notable for its high elongation and excellent stress distribution. It’s designed for environments requiring exceptional low temperature impact resistance and fast strength development at room temperature. The non-sag thixotropic dispensing feature adds to its ease of use in diverse application scenarios.
