Structural Bonding of Finishing Profiles

Bonding Instead of Mechanical Fastening

Finishing profiles fulfill important functions in vehicle and ship construction:

  • Edge protection
  • Component termination
  • Sealing of transitions
  • Visual enhancement
  • Protection against moisture and dirt

Mechanical fastening methods often result in:

  • Corrosion points caused by component penetration
  • Leakage due to material movement
  • Stress cracks in transition areas
  • Increased assembly effort
  • Visible fastening elements

Structural bonding provides clear advantages:

✔ Permanent bonding and sealing in a single step
✔ Even stress distribution
✔ No corrosion points
✔ Weight reduction
✔ Clean, high-quality appearance
✔ Suitable for series production and custom manufacturing


Typical Challenges in Finishing Profile Bonding

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

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

For Stress-Compensating and Sealing Profile Connections

MS hybrid adhesives are ideal when structural bonding and permanent sealing must be combined.

Structural PUR Adhesives

For High-Strength Profile Bonding

When particularly high structural load capacity is required, PUR adhesives are used.


PU adhesive COSMO® PU-200.180

The versatile all-rounder

  • Very high bond strength
  • Permanent load-bearing connection
  • High resistance under dynamic loads

Details


Reliable Adhesion Starts with Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is essential for the quality and durability of finishing profile bonding.


Activator COSMO® CL-310.110

The adhesion enhancer

  • Cleans and activates the bonding surface
  • Improves adhesion to PVC, ABS, PC, GRP, as well as powder-coated surfaces
  • Suitable for smooth, non-absorbent and porous substrates
