Understanding Adhesion
Adhesives & Double Coated Bonding Tapes
•Adhesives...perhaps the first technology
•Adhesion/cohesion...working together for application success
•Application Success Factors
•Replacing mechanical fasteners with adhesives & tapes
Uniform stress distribution
Bond & seal simultaneously
Use lighter, thinner materials
Bond dissimilar materials
Damp vibration
Eliminate drilling time and holes
Improve appearance & reduce finishing
Single Coated Tapes
Reclosable Fasteners
