This interest is easily justified by the many advantages of adhesive bonding over traditional assembly techniques (screwing, clipping, riveting, etc.). The use of adhesives enables easy assembly of different materials, homogeneous stress distribution, elimination of many corrosion problems, high production rates, etc.

In the automotive sector, for example, bonding improves bodywork resistance in the event of an accident, by increasing rigidity by up to 27%. For the same rigidity, a bonded...
