Bonding and sealing

Superglue, epoxy, or elastic sealant: these products differ in their curing time and the behavior of the finished bond. Which system is suitable also depends on the design and the assembly process.

Our articles explain the types of adhesives and typical applications, from securing screws to joining different materials. Further topics include cleaning the bonding surfaces, pretreatment, and when a bond can be subjected to stress.
