adhesive gap
The adhesive gap must be taken into account when manufacturing the parts to be joined.
E.g. automotive industry: When manufacturing the bumper parts, the adhesive gap of the adhesive to be used must be taken into account from the outset so that a suitable, stable connection can be made.
The thickness of the adhesive gap affects the strength and quality of the connection:
- If the adhesive gap is too large, it will require applying too much glue to ensure a strong bond. Under-applying adhesive and making the adhesive layer too thin can result in uneven contact between the materials, affecting the adhesion and strength of the joint.
- A adhesive gap that is too small can cause problems if not enough adhesive can be applied to develop the required strength.
Overall, the adhesive gap is an important factor in creating bonded joints that requires careful planning and execution. By considering material thicknesses, surface preparation and temperature control, an optimal adhesive gap can be achieved to ensure a strong and durable bond.
