Roof Bonding

Fibre-reinforced plastic or aluminium. Must transfer roof load evenly, eliminate stress concentrations
and seal watertight.

Long open time, large beads required due to size of assembly.

Door Bonding

Aluminium or FRP/GRP used
to deliver aesthetics, strength
and impact resistance.

Strong, weather-resistant bonds for panels subject to impact and vibration.

Trim Bonding

Composite materials for lower
weight, durability and aesthetics.

Requires strong bonding of dissimilar materials for small parts.

Grain Tank

Steel or aluminium used to
provide strength and durability
for load-bearing applications.

Requires exceptionally strong bonds for added stability and durability for large structures.

Chassis

Steel/aluminium providing strength
for load-bearing applications.

Exceptionally strong bonds for stability and durability of large structure.

Engine Compartment

Aluminium or FRP/GRP to
withstand high temperatures without adhesive failure.

Dissimilar material bonding with high temperature resistance.

Floor Panel Bonding

Steel or Aluminium used for
strength and impact resistance
to secure floor to frame.

Strong metal bonding with durability to sustain consistent impact and vibration.

Bond using:

Reel

Steel or aluminium used
for strength, vibration and
impact resistance.

Bond must be able to withstand harsh conditions and constant vibration.

Window Frames

Lightweight aluminium or
composite, providing
impact/vibration resistance.

Dissimilar material bonds, weatherproof sealing.

Cabin & Dashboard Assembly
