Medium-temperature binding solutions are adhesives designed to operate effectively within a moderate temperature range, typically from about 150°C to 300°C. These binding solutions are used to bond materials in environments where higher temperatures are encountered, but not as extreme as those requiring high-temperature adhesives.
Types of Medium-Temperature Binding Solutions
