Abstract
Epoxy technology is currently one of the most used as a structural adhesive due to its mechanical, chemical resistance, and adhesion on a variety of substrates. Among the adhesives marketed with this chemistry, the most attractive format due to its ease of application and versatility is that of putty.
In this project, two systems of two-component adhesive epoxy putty are developed, curing at room temperature. The objective of this development is to obtain putties that respond to market demand: the first as a system in coaxial bar format with a fast hardening time, with DIY and plumbing applications; while for the second a system with a longer hardening time for industrial maintenance applications.
During the project, the materialization process of both adhesive systems is detailed, going first through the theoretical design and formulation on a laboratory scale, followed by the characterization of relevant properties that describe the product, ending with the description of its manufacture at big scale.
The current project allows, not only to obtain two putty systems for commercialization in the mass consumer market but also to establish the steps for next developments of systems of these characteristics by the company that frames the project, Sailing Technologies S.L.
