Can Sealed Galvanized Long Screws Still Be Adhesive-Bonded?

Release time:2020-01-16 18:44 Browse:

Yes, sealed galvanized long screws can be adhesive-bonded, but the following factors must be considered:

Key Considerations

  1. Type of Sealing Layer

    • Common sealants (e.g., passivation film, epoxy coating, organic sealants) may affect adhesive bonding.

    • If the sealant is non-reactive (e.g., chromate passivation), choose a compatible adhesive.

    • If it’s an oily sealant, clean the surface first.

  2. Surface Preparation

    • Cleaning: Use alcohol, acetone, or a specialized degreaser to remove contaminants.

    • Roughening: Light sanding or blasting improves mechanical adhesion (avoid damaging the zinc layer).

  3. Adhesive Selection

    • Epoxy: High strength, corrosion-resistant, ideal for structural bonding.

    • Polyurethane: Flexible, suitable for dynamic or thermal expansion applications.

    • Silicone/Anaerobic Adhesive: Used for sealing or thread locking (test compatibility first).

  4. Process Optimization

    • If high-temperature curing is needed, ensure the sealant and zinc layer can withstand it (hot-dip galvanizing tolerates heat better than electro-galvanizing).

Application Recommendations

  • Thread Locking: Apply anaerobic adhesive (e.g., Loctite 243) directly, but test adhesion.

  • Waterproof Sealing: Use silicone or polyurethane adhesive after proper cleaning.

  • Structural Bonding: Lightly sand sealed areas, then apply epoxy for maximum strength.

Precautions

  • Conduct small-scale tests to verify adhesion.

  • Avoid acidic or corrosive adhesives that may damage the zinc/sealant.

  • Consult adhesive suppliers for compatibility with the specific sealant (e.g., chromate vs. non-chromate passivation).
