Methacrylate Adhesives

Chemistry Overview

ForzaBuilt methacrylate (MMA) adhesives provide structural strength with high surface tolerance and reduced prep time.

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives are two-component structural systems known for strong impact and peel resistance plus high tolerance for lightly contaminated surfaces.

Production Challenges We Help Solve

  • High surface prep cost from abrasion, solvent wipe, or priming steps.
  • Bonding oily metals or mill-finish substrates directly from production lines.
  • Bonding low-energy plastics such as HDPE and PP without flame or plasma treatment.
  • Peel, impact, or dynamic fatigue loads that can crack rigid chemistries.

Typical Use Cases

Truck and trailer body assembly
Marine deck bonding
FRP composite bonding
Recreational vehicles
Industrial equipment
Cold storage panels
