Adhesive bonding is a fast-growing technique. The automotive world
is a perfect illustration of this trend, since the latest cars feature

This interest is easily justified by the many advantages of adhesive
bonding over traditional assembly techniques (screwing, clipping,
riveting, etc.). The use of adhesives enables easy assembly of different
materials, homogeneous stress distribution, elimination of many corrosion
problems, high production rates, etc.
In the automotive sector, for example, bonding improves bodywork
resistance in the event of an accident, by increasing rigidity by
up to 27%. For the same rigidity, a bonded...
