Looking for universal adhesive

brucecu said:

I want to bond urethane polishing pads to a steel mandrel. The pads will be subjected to fairly high shear stress. Environment is lapping oil or water based coolant with approx. 1% by volume ethanolamine, triamine and some proprietary EP lubricants. Ideally adhesive will be fast setting with viscosity less than 5000 cp. Anaerobics are marginal softening over the course of an hour when exposed to coolant. Any ideas?

Urethane melts and then solidifies back to original strength. It can be bonded to perforated metal or to woven wire mesh using heat. the screen or mesh can first be brazed or welded to a mandrel, or the end of the mandrel can be machined with a series of undercut grooves or holes.

I use urethane belts that are made endless by welding and know the joint is as strong as the rest of the belt.
