Adhesives for Bonding Glass

The epoxy resins occupy a leading position as glass adhesives. Their hardening at room temperature can be varied over a wide range. Different curing systems are available for this purpose. Thermosetting epoxy resins that harden in a few minutes at 120 -150 °C are used on industrial scale. [Pg.76]

Introduction. A variety of different adhesives, sealants, and coating compounds with a wide spectrum of properties, from high-strength structural adhesives with energyabsorbing properties (crash resistance) to highly elastic surface-coating compounds, are used in modem automobile manufacture. The boundary between adhesives and sealants is fluid and cannot be defined precisely. It is intended here to discuss only products [Pg.76]

Although the quantity in which the adhesives thus defined are used per vehicle depends largely on the model, the average value in Europe appears at present to be between about 8 and 12 kg. [Pg.77]

Bofly and Paint Line. On the body line, all adhesives and sealants are applied to the steel surfece covered with oil that is used for deep drawing and for corrosion protection. Accordingly, the adhesives and sealants used must be able to absorb the oil. In addition the adhesive must bond to a large number of surface coatings such as zinc, Zn-Ni, electrolytic zinc, fire zinc, prephosphated Zn, and organic coatings. [Pg.77]

For joining anti-flutter panels to the outer panels of bonnet and trunk, adhesives of relatively low strength and high elasticity are used both at the assembly stage and after electrocoating (PVC plastisok, rubber-based adhesives). These properties are necessary [Pg.77]
