Description
An advanced direct-to-metal, Nylon, and Hard Plastics bonding low halogen two-part methacrylate structural adhesive. Plexus MA8105 GB is designed for the structural bonding of most all popular metals, All Nylon types, and most hard plastics, as well as composites and laminate assemblies. It is Reinforced with Glass-Microbeads (GB stands for Glass Beads) to enforce a minimum bond gap/width and to enhance the strength and toughness of the structural glue.
It has a fast-set time of 5-7 minutes, with handling streanth around 15-20 minutes
