Modified Epoxy Adhesives

Chemistry Overview

ForzaBuilt modified epoxy adhesives combine epoxy strength with improved peel, impact, and fatigue resistance for dynamic assemblies.

Modified epoxies are epoxy formulations enhanced with flexibilizers, rubber particles, or reactive tougheners to improve peel strength, impact resistance, and fatigue performance.

Production Challenges We Help Solve

  • Brittle bond failures caused by impact, drop, or vibration in standard epoxy joints.
  • Peel-prone configurations where classic epoxy can crack and propagate.
  • Applications needing high tensile strength with a more ductile failure mode.
  • Bonding flexible or semi-flexible substrates that stress-crack rigid epoxy.

Typical Use Cases

Automotive crash-resistant structures
Sports equipment (skis, hockey sticks, bikes)
Aerospace secondary structures
Electronics housings
Marine impact zones
