Bonding Fitting Methods

The method of fixture will depend upon the design employed, however the key point to be emphasised is that in addition to traditional mechanical fixing, Orkot® materials can be bonded to both itself and metallic substrates. Also of note is that if the assembly is to exceed 60-70°C in temperature then interference fitting should be replaced with adhesive fitting. Numerous adhesives are compatible with Orkot® and have been tested within our laboratory facilities. Generally the most suitable adhesives are : * Epoxies * Acrylics * Cyanoacrylates * Polyurethanes For specific details of bonding agents and conditions please see our engineering manual in the Literature section, or contact our Technical department.
