Résumé : |
To repair truck body panels made from sheet molding compound (SMC) quickly and effectively, Triad Freightliner of Greensboro, N.C., relies on high performance epoxy adhesives. This article, supplied by Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Performance Polymers, East Lansing, Mich., describes how their Araldite epoxy systems(*) are specially designed to bond SMC substrates. The systems produce longlasting, sag-resistant joints that can withstand exposure to environmental extremes and the vibration to which trucks, buses and other mass transit vehicles are exposed.
The adhesives are also easy to use because they are supplied in 200 ml cartridges that provide for precise mixing and easy, low-waste application using Liquid Control's Supermix II cartridge dispensing system. |
