What Are Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Structural Adhesives? A Complete Overview for Engineers

Revolutionizing Structural Bonding with 3rd Generation MMA Structural Adhesives

High-performance structural adhesives for metals, plastics, and composites — 
structural adhesives                          MMA glue
replacing welding, rivets, and bolts with lighter, stronger, smarter bonds.

When Bonding Becomes Part of the Structure

SUPEX structural adhesives are engineered for load-bearing applications where joints must endure continuous stress, vibration, and extreme temperatures. Our 3rd Generation MMA adhesives don’t just stick parts together — they become part of the structure.

Key Performance Icons:

  • High shear strength

  • Excellent impact resistance

  • Wide temperature tolerance

  • Long-term durability  

The Evolution of MMA Technology

From Brittle Bonds to Breakthrough Performance

Timeline Layout:

1st Generation: Strong but brittle
2nd Generation: Tougher but limited fatigue resistance
3rd Generation (SUPEX):
• No sagging or dripping
• Room-temperature curing
• Excellent impact & fatigue resistance
• Bonds metals, plastics & composites

3rd Generation MMA makes adhesive bonding reliable enough to replace mechanical fastening.
