Advantages
The most important function of industrial adhesives is to join two substrates, they do this remarkably well by distributing stress more uniformly than can occur with mechanical fasteners. Industrial adhesives transmit stress from one member to another and permit the fabrication of structures that are at least equivalent mechanically or stronger than conventional, mechanical assembly methods while also providing additional benefits.
Limitations
It can be difficult to know which type of adhesive to use with the many variations of bonding methodologies and substrates available and in use today and adhesive bonding does have some limitations.
