DEVCON® Epoxy Adhesives
for Magnets
 We provide a DEVCON® epoxy adhesive
on this site that has been selected for its ability to adhere to nickel
plating using a set of specific application procedures. Nickel is a metal that is highly resistant to corrosive attack. This
corrosion resistance
prevents the metal from
reacting with most chemicals that are commonly incorporated into adhesives
to develop a bond between the adhesive and the substrate. In
addition, when nickel is used as a plating it forms an
extremely smooth, hard surface that further reduces the ability of an
adhesive to bond to the metal.
