Disadvantages of Adhesives
The major disadvantages associated with adhesive bonding are:
- Limited heat resistance is the major problem. This restricts the process to applications where environmental temperatures will not be above 200ºC.
- Poor electrical and thermal conductivity.
- High thermal expansion.
- Limited resistance to certain chemicals (i.e. some paint strippers).
- Integrity difficult to check with non-destructive testing procedures.
