Product Description:

Plexus® MA2090 is a two-part methacrylate adhesive designed for structural bonding of composite, thermoplastic, and metal assemblies. Formulated to prevent sagging and sliding, it can be applied on vertical surfaces. The adhesive does not boil in gaps up to 1.5 inches thick.

With a 10:1 mix ratio, MA2090 has a working time of 90 – 95 minutes at 75°F (23.9°C) and achieves 500 psi in 170 – 175 minutes and 1000 psi in approximately 24 hours at 75°F (23.9°C). Like other Plexus methacrylate systems, MA2090 requires little-to-no surface preparation and provides excellent fatigue endurance, impact resistance, and superior toughness.

MA2090 is blue-pigmented and supplied in ready-to-use cartridges, pails, or drums. It dispenses as a non-sagging gel.

Key Features:

No Sag or Slide: Can be applied vertically or overhead without dripping.
Large Gap Filling: Works in gaps up to 1.5 inches without boiling.
High Strength & Toughness: Provides excellent impact resistance and durability.
Minimal Surface Preparation: Bonds many materials without extensive surface prep.
Excellent Fatigue Resistance: Maintains strength under cyclic loads.
Long Work Time: Provides 90 – 95 minutes of working life at 75°F (23.9°C)​.

Recommended Applications:

🔹 Marine Industry: Bonding composite and metal components in boats and marine vessels.
🔹 Transportation: Structural bonding of thermoplastic and composite panels in automotive, rail, and aerospace.
🔹 Industrial Equipment: General manufacturing applications requiring high durability​.
