Structural Adhesives vs Mechanical Fasteners

Structural Adhesives vs Mechanical Fasteners

Structural Adhesives vs Mechanical Fasteners Structural adhesives are a powerful alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners. They offer superior strength, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use in manufacturing processes. Unlike mechanical fasteners, which only distribute holding power at the point of attachment, structural adhesives distribute holding power along the entire bond line, resulting in a stronger bond.
