Event Details
Overview:
This Free webinar brought to you in collaboration with the Thermoset Resin Formulators Association (TRFA), learn about the upcoming TRFA meeting in October 2027 and also understand the role of epoxies as an enabler in various adhesive systems. Epoxy resins are widely used in various types of adhesives, from DIY two part adhesives to complex electrically conductive adhesives for electronic applications. The various types of epoxy adhesives will be covered including chemistry and curing. Epoxy adhesives can be cured at room temperature, at an elevated temperature, and cured via UV light. Fillers play an important role in tailoring the mechanical, electrical and rheological properties for epoxy-based adhesives. The basics of dispensing and rheological properties will be presented.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how epoxies are used in adhesives
- Types of adhesives using epoxy as the base resin
- Fillers used in specialty adhesives (such as electronic applications)
- Dispensing epoxy adhesives
- Curing epoxy adhesives; ambient, high temperature, UV curing
Agenda:
- Introduction to epoxy resins used in adhesives
- The role of chemistry, hardeners, and accelerators in the curing process
- Types of fillers used in epoxy-based adhesives
- Epoxy adhesive dispensing methods
- Curing process including ambient curing, elevated temperature, and UV curing
Who Should Attend:
This is an ideal webinar for anyone interested in learning more about epoxies.
