Structural Bonding of Strips and Profiles

Bonding Instead of Mechanical Fastening

Strips and profiles fulfill various functions in vehicle and ship construction:

Cover strips
Finishing strips
Reinforcement strips
Sealing strips
Decorative and functional profiles

Mechanical fastening often results in:

Corrosion points caused by component penetration
Leakage in exterior applications
Stress peaks during temperature changes
Increased assembly effort
Visible fastening elements

Structural bonding provides clear advantages:

✔ Sealing and bonding in a single step
✔ Even load distribution
✔ No corrosion points
✔ Weight reduction
✔ Clean appearance without visible fasteners
✔ Suitable for series production and custom manufacturing

Typical Challenges in Strip Bonding

Different material combinations
Continuous vibration and movement
Temperature and moisture fluctuations
UV and weather exposure
Requirements for elasticity and sealing performance
High visual standards in exposed areas

COSMO® systems are specifically developed to meet these challenges.

Suitable Material Combinations

Our adhesive systems are suitable for applications such as:
