DESIGN GUIDELINES BONDING DESIGN INSTALLATION METHODS In practice, adhesive joints are exposed to numerous forces (tensile, compression, shear and peel). The strength of the connection depends on the adhesive surface, the internal forces of the adhesive and the parts to be joined, as well as the stress distribution within the substrates. An incorrect design can lead to high tension peaks and thus the failure of the connection. Therefore, when designing, care should be taken that the geometry is suitable for the adhesive. This enables a long service life under the required conditions. An elastic...

DESIGN GUIDELINES SIKA ADDED VALUEGoing beyond the supply of materials and products NOZZLE GEOMETRY Leaks, tension in the components and other problems must be avoided prior to a bonding application. The correct cutting of adhesive application nozzles reduce sources of error. The adhesive is applied in the correct dimension and can fully develop its functions. The adhesive should always be applied in the form of a triangular bead. This ensures the best possible wetting of the substrates with the adhesive. It avoids interruption in the adhesive bead, insufficient material application due to tolerances...
