Points for attention

As with any fastening technique, attention must be paid to a number of matters in connection with adhesive bonding and sealing. The cohesion between design, construction, choice of materials and the adhesive or sealing technique is highly important. Coordination between professionals at the design stage adds to the optimum bonding and total functionality of the object.

Bostik pays a great deal of attention to this. Advice on the design and the choice of materials enables lighter, more rigid construction, enhances the durability and provides better production possibilities. Ultimately this means that the functionality will improve while the costs are reduced.

Which adhesive technique is selected for certain types of material greatly depends on the characteristics of the surface in combination with the adhesion. Sometimes specific pre-treatment is required. Bostik ensures that the pre-treatment is kept to a minimum.

If combined with SMP adhesives, cleaning will usually suffice. Mechanical sanding or roughening is hardly ever necessary. Simson is happy to help by providing adhesive advice and application methods. This ensures optimum results and reliability. Contact one of Simsons specialists via the Customer Service department.

The application of adhesives is subject to the restrictions of the legislation on occupational health and safety and the environment. Simson pays close attention to this legislation when developing adhesive technologies and applications. Simsons ample practical experience in development and application results in products that are user-friendly and cause minimal damage to the environment.
