Adhesive
The adhesive used on the PHE gasket is usually mainly made of epoxy or butyl rubber. Unlike other applications, the adhesive does not rely on long-acting bond strength. Because once the plates are mounted up, gaskets are squeezed against the plates.
We recommend using “Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive SA7036” manufactured by 3M, or any adhesive that meets the standard below.
