3.Machining and processing HPL
Reactive adhesives consist of usually two different substances which are joined to produce a bond in order to form a new plastic in a chemical reaction (polymerisation). This in turn bonds the workpieces together when it hardens. Examples for reactive adhesives are the 2-component adhesives made from epoxy resins or acrylate resins as well as the 1-component adhesives made from cyanacrylate and polyurethane, which require moisture for hardening.
Reactive adhesives are mainly used for special bonding applications. Due to the large number of different types, it is not possible to give general recommendations for processing. If you have any questions about bonding, please contact the technical field service of your adhesives manufacturer.
