Bonding

 
secutex – the gentle power against raw impact forces.
If screwing or welding is not possible, just glue the secutex where impact protection is required. No problem with the secutex special bonding material.

These are the advantages:

  • by gluing (nearly) everywhere applicable
  • No drilling or welding necessary
  • Bonding where welding or screwing is impossible

Applications:

  • Thin to medium thick wood plates
  • Glass and plexiglass
  • Sound absorbing elements
  • Fine wood surfaces

Examples:

  • Coolhouses
  • Painted, laminated, veneered walls and surfaces
  • According to special requirements

A proper bond requires always a good preparation …

The following procedure is needed:

1. Cleaning of the surface
Suitable grease and silicone-dissolving cleaning agents are required. This step is important to ensure that there is no dirt on the surface which may be present during the grinding or sandblasting process.

2. Roughening the surface
Sandblasting or grinding of the surface are especially suitable here. The right procedure must be defined on site. Roughening enlarges the surface and significantly improves the bonding result.

3. Cleaning the surface, again
Suitable grease and silicone-dissolving cleaning agents are required. This step is important to remove the dirt caused by roughening the surface.

4. Cleaning the secutex buffer pad
Suitable grease and silicone-dissolving cleaning agents are required. This step is important in order to remove possible soiling of the surface.

5. Application of the adhesive
Apply the selected adhesive according to the relevant instructions. A good room temperature is always needed, the item and secutex should not be cold. The adhesive should be applied as thin as possible.

6. Pressure application
The impact protection must be pressed flat and permanently onto the item. For this purpose, tools such as wooden planks and screw clamps are suggested. The contact pressure must be maintained during the reaction time specified for the adhesive.

A practical Tip:

  • 1-component adhesive on PU basis, Normfest Proton Protect
  • 2K-glue on acrylate basis
  • Delo Maflex 8193 with Delo Quick 8003 Here one glue-component is applied to the item and the other glue-component onto the secutex. When pressed together, the two compounds come together and then react very quickly.
