Why they perform
Typical applications
Performance takeaway: Adhesive solutions help support reliable vehicle construction, protection, and maintenance while delivering durable performance in demanding transportation environments.
Using adhesive tape instead of screws for mounting load lock rails or stiffener bars saves you not only weight, but also produces fewer weak points, as stresses are evenly distributed across the bonded area. For the mounting of trims, going screwless can be more aesthetically pleasing, and there is no risk of screws working themselves free due to vibration and movement.
