How To Choose The Right Lightweight Adhesive
Finding the right adhesive for your lightweight component is dependent on the right chemical mix. Some adhesives are rigid. Others have high degrees of elasticity. Some offer increased energy absorption. How do you know which is right for the job?
It starts with considering some basic questions. What are the materials you need to join? What are your goals? Are you aiming for improved acoustic and vibration design? Are you pursuing a significant increase in energy absorption in the body structures for increased safety? What are the assembly process limitations the adhesive will be required to meet?
