Can you elaborate on the unique features of PLEXUS structural adhesives that differentiate them from traditional bonding solutions in the market?

PLEXUS is the range of structural adhesives and semi structural adhesives that is designed to help optimize manufacturing and assembly techniques and processes. This wide range of advanced adhesives from ITW are uniquely designed for bonding a vast majority of composites, thermoplastics, metals and dissimilar substrates. By chemically fusing plastics and composites, PLEXUS ensures bonds so strong the adhesive will outperform the substrate. In metal bonding PLEXUS adds value in applications where the aesthetic appearance is important and bond strength is crucial. PLEXUS solutions are extremely durable and last longer compared to traditional adhesives giving customers the confidence of reliability with their assembled products. They are also highly resistant to extreme conditions such as temperature, chemicals, and moisture. On almost all major parameters of performance, be it mechanical properties, adhesion, curing performance or need for surface preparation, PLEXUS adhesives significantly outperform traditionally available adhesives. PLEXUS methacrylate adhesives are also fortified with core-shell technology that vastly enhance the performance of our products. With fast curing times and high-performance characteristics, PLEXUS adhesives are ideal for demanding industries where traditional bonding solutions may not provide the same level of reliability.
