LASTING BONDS
Permanent bonding tapes offer an effi cient and reliable solution to demanding assembly challenges in transportation applications
The tapes provide strong bonds to withstand vibration, shock loads, temperature fl uctuations and environmental exposure C
onstant vibration; shock loads; wide temperature fl uctuations; exposure to strong sunlight, water and
contaminants: component bonding in transportation applications is always challenging. In addition to these demanding performance criteria, engineering teams must address a wide range of stakeholder requirements. Design teams and customers want fastening solutions that are aesthetically pleasing and maintenance-free. Manufacturing engineers want solutions that are fast and reliable in production.

www.engineerlive.com These competing demands can be
diff icult to balance with traditional fastening techniques. For example, screws, rivets, and other mechanical fasteners can be visually obtrusive. And every extra hole is another place for leaks, corrosion spots or cracks to develop over the life of a vehicle, for example. Liquid adhesives can be messy to apply, and slow cure times can cause unwanted delays or added complexity in production.
