Product Performance

Increased Product Performance

Click below on any of the seven advantages to learn more. For each advantage, examples of adhesives and sealants in real life are presented, organized by major Market and Application Area. Below you will find specific examples of where adhesives and sealants are used. (You can click again on each advantage to roll the detailed information back up.)

Allows use of high performance plastics and composites to obtain high strength and low weight

Eliminates heat induced metal weakening associated with welding

Allows use of laminates with improved performance

Provides sound and vibration dampening

Reduces stress concentration associated with screw/rivet holes

Provides continuous bond line, offering stiffening with no added weight/material

Compensates for thermal movement in window systems and increases the longevity of the windows and doors to keep buildings dry and clean
