The key advantage of threadlockers and structural epoxy is its ability to bond parts together to generate high strength and permanent joinery. It is able to transmit structural pressures without losing its integrity as specified within the limits of the design of the structure. As such, it significantly contributes to the entire integrity of the structure of continuously stressed connections within the expected lifespan when subjected to severe environmental conditions. Apart from epoxy, there are many other types of structural adhesives such as silicone but it has a lower cohesive strength than epoxies. Silicones are more suitable for applications that need a particular degree of stress flexibility in the joint.
Moreover, structural epoxies and threadlockers are capable of providing excellent adhesion to a broad range of surfaces and materials. It can work over a wide variety of service temperatures and is very durable even when used in harsh working environments. Epoxies can also be formulated for either high or low electrical and thermal conductivities, making them perfect for applications involving electricity. With these unique properties, a structural epoxy is used in many other industrial applications apart from aircraft. These include construction, automotive, electric, and transportation industries.
