Description (page 5 of 5)

The areas in which structural and semistructural adhesives are applied are shown on the views of the body and repeated, for better clarity, in the cross sections of the sheet metals involved.

Structural adhesives are products for gluing metal to metal. They are particularly suitable for gluing the borders of doors, bonnets and tailgates.

The use of these sealants makes it possible to eliminate welding spots; also considerable anti-corrosion protection is obtained in the jointing areas as well as good shearing resistance.

Semistructural adhesives act as jointing of the sheet metals with the body; they are applied around the perimeters of mobile parts when the body is assembled after bonderising and cataphoresis.
