Application examples: Flexible bonding of hatches, rubbing strakes, winches, signs, pipes, strips, struts, profiles, stiffeners, brackets, fittings, plates, deck fittings, frames, floor frames, boxes, cabins, panels, sandwich components, lightweight panels, containers, superstructures, floor panels, frames, panels, covers, panels, sleeves, and edge protection. Applications: Shipbuilding, metalworking, apparatus engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, plastics technology, automotive bodywork, railcar, vehicle, and container construction. Contact with non-system adhesives and sealants from other manufacturers must be avoided. Adhesion spectrum: Suitable materials include metals, powder-coated, painted, galvanized, anodized, chromated, or hot-dip galvanized surfaces, various plastics, ceramics, stone, concrete, and wood. Due to the wide variety of different plastics and compositions, as well as materials prone to stress cracking, preliminary tests are recommended.
