Which adhesive would be best for joining infused Carbon Fibre to infused Carbon Black Twaron?
There will be a constant pull on this joint.

Hi Brian,

From our range PT326 would be the one to go for; it's a rigid 2-part polyurethane structural adhesive with excellent cured mechanical properties. Polyurethanes slightly outperform epoxies for plastic-to-plastic bonding (which composite-to-composite effectively is).

Although we don't have one in our range at the moment (so this is just general advice) the other good plastic-to-plastic adhesive used in composites is methacrylate; we'll be looking at adding in a methacrylate to our range at some point. We would expect similar results to the PT326.

I hope this helps,

All the best, Matt

Thank you Matt.
That is what I thought but it is best to check.

Brian.
