OrganoRivet LLC is a limited liability company dedicated to research, development, manufacturing, and marketing of adhesives and other chemical products. As science and technology advances, structural adhesives have evolved to replace traditional rivets partially or even completely in many applications. Nowadays, structural adhesives are extensively applied in the industries of consumer electronics, transportation, recreational vehicles, and wind turbines. Structural adhesives are also widely used in pipe laying construction and signage fabrication.
Generally speaking, MMA (methyl methacrylate) based structural adhesives are good for Acrylics, ABS, PVC, Polyesters, Vinyl Esters, Gelcoats, Styrenics, Urethanes, FRP, Polycarbonates, Carbon Steel, Aluminum, and various composites. We strongly suggest our customers test all substrates with the selected adhesive in the service conditions to determine suitability. To bond low surface energy materials such as PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), please contact us for further information.
Unless otherwise specified, worktime (WT) was obtained from a test with 10 g of fresh sample at 23C (73.4F). Worktime is in minutes.
Fixation color could be straw, gray, blue/green.
Prices (50ml cartridge/490ml cartridge) may vary. Prices are in US dollars.
Thermal Expansion Reconciler
Name <MixVol> WT [SDS] Note
i. In signage fabrication industry, it is common to bond plastics to metals, for example polycarbonate or ABS to aluminum or carbon steel. Plastics and metals have very different Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) values, which means that they expand and contract at different rates and to different degrees as temperature changes. Such a CTE mismatch will create enormous shear stress due to warpage and bending, leading to bond failure and delamination. TER10P and TER14P can alleviate this CTE mismatch problem, enabling your assemblies to endure thermal cycling better. TER10P and TER14P do not require a primer in application.
ii. TER10 and TER14 are budget-friendly versions of TER10P and TER14P, respectively. For better and consistent performance, it is recommended to treat the surfaces of metal substrates such as aluminum and carbon steel with a primer, even though TER10 and TER14 can bond such substrates directly.
Composite Welder
Name <MixVol> WT [SDS] Note
i. These products contain no halogen. They are commonly referred to as composite welders. They cure rapidly and don't require a primer for aluminum or carbon steel bonding. For these reasons, they are widely used in consumer electronics assembling. Compared to A205, A205F has higher viscosity and cures slightly faster.
General Purpose
Name <MixVol> WT [SDS] Note
i. Primer is recommended for aluminum and carbon steel substrates for better and consistent performance, though they could bond aluminum and carbon steel substrates directly.
ii. These products can bond aluminum and carbon steel substrates without a primer.
Low Odor
Name <MixVol> WT [SDS] Note
i. Primer recommended for metal substrates for better and consistent performance.
Non-Flammable
Name <MixVol> WT [SDS] Note
A8810 <10:1> 8~12 A, R i
i. Low odor, Primerless.
Low Modulus
Name <MixVol> WT [SDS] Note
i. Excellent low temperature properties, High elongation and toughness, Primer recommended for metal substrates for better and consistent performance.
Affordable
Metal rivets are not cheap, and labor of applying rivets is expensive.
Durable
Bonding stress is evenly distributed over two bonded surfaces.
Aesthetic
Rivets can expose heads on surface, but adhesives are invisible.
Convenient
Could be applied with a dispensing gun / volumetric pump.
