Design Solutions

• Improvement in product appearance with invisible joint and smoother bond lines, reduced weight and noise, enhanced corrosion and fatigue resistance

• Design freedom–Joining composites to metal, build with hard-to-bond plastics and use of thinner, lighter weight materials

Process Efficiencies

• Enhanced productivity through reduces labour and material costs, minimal surface preparation and matching cure rates to process needs

• Accurate and easy to use: Can be dispensed by hand or automated equipment; availability in a wide range of viscosities and flow rates

Performance Optimization

• Adhesives bond and seal simultaneously, eliminate stress concentration and absorb shock and vibration for enhanced bond durability

• Increased durability: Resistance to chemicals, environment, galvanic corrosion, fatigue and material suspension along edges or corners
