- Improved stress distribution; stresses are evenly distributed over
the entire bonding area thereby minimizing high localized stress concentrations.
- Outstanding fatigue resistance of adhesively bonded joints especially
to cyclic loading.
- Superior resistance to mechanical shock and vibration even upon prolonged
exposure to hostile environmental conditions.
- Ability to bond dissimilar as well as similar materials including
metals, plastics, elastomers, glass, ceramics and wood.
- Outstanding humidity and corrosion resistance at both ambient and
elevated temperature conditions.
- Superior thermal resistance.
- Availability of adhesive formulations for a wide range of service
conditions from as high as 600°F to cryogenic environments.
- Adhesively bonded surfaces feature smooth contours free from gaps
and external projections unlike rivets and other mechanical fasteners.
- Less critical tolerances acceptable for high performance bonding compared
to mechanical fastening methods.
- Substantial weight and significant cost savings without decrease of
pertinent bonding strength parameters.
- Unexcelled dimensional stability and long term durability.
- Techniques are available for disassembly of adhesively bonded assemblies
without deleteriously affecting the individual components.
