Tari he Elastic Adhesive Systems CJ e PCC A Bus AssemblyMost studies conceming the behaviour of adhesives in joints have been carried out on rigid, high- strength adhesive systems, and itis only recently that the industry has discovered the advontages of elastic adhesive systems, Although inferior to high-strength, rigid epoxy or acrylic based systems etc. in chsolute strengths, elastic adhesive systems properly used offer a large range of new applications, Extensive development work, confirmed meanwhile by long-term tests, has been dedicated to elastic adhesive technology. A well-proven adhesive system is now available for practical use. Previous adhesive techniques using rigid adhesives required meticulous surface preparation as well as limited application thicknesses and tolerances. Certain rules also apply when working with elastic adhesive systems, however the system is much more convenient in practice and more forgiving. Any use of adhesives requires a good knowledge of adhesive techniques, clear production guide- lines and edreful pplication, Auser who i nkidful of his fact hat hs dspc8al afew technology for the economical assembly of modern, high-strength constructions.
