Structural Bonding of Corner Angles

Structural Bonding Instead of Mechanical Fastening

Corner angles perform load-bearing and stabilizing functions in vehicle and ship superstructures.

Mechanical fastening methods often result in:

Corrosion risks due to component penetration
Stress peaks in corner areas
Material distortion caused by heat input (in welding processes)
Additional weight
Increased assembly effort

Structural bonding offers clear advantages:

✔ Even load distribution in corner areas
✔ No corrosion points
✔ Permanent, stress-free connection
✔ Reduced component weight
✔ Suitable for series production and custom manufacturing

Typical Challenges in Corner Angle Bonding

High static and dynamic loads
Continuous vibration during vehicle or ship operation
Combination of different materials
Temperature and moisture fluctuations
High requirements for sealing and long-term durability
Fire protection requirements in interior applications

COSMO® systems are specifically developed to meet these challenges.

Suitable Material Combinations

Our adhesive systems are suitable for applications such as:

Elastic MS Hybrid Adhesives
