Why Special Adhesives are Essential for Your Carbon Project

When working with fiber composite materials or assembling finished components on a vehicle, the choice of joining technology is absolutely critical for your safety and the longevity of the result. Commercially available all-purpose glue has no place in this area, because our professional Adhesives are chemically designed to form permanent bonds under extreme conditions. Whether you want to securely and aerodynamically mount a finished carbon fiber component like a rear spoiler or front splitter to the car body, or if you need to fix dry carbon fiber fabric in a complex shape during the lamination process – you need products that are temperature-resistant, vibration-resistant, and weather-resistant.

What to look out for when choosing and using adhesives

For the chemical reaction to proceed optimally and full holding power to be developed, correct preparation of the adhesive surfaces is paramount. Before you our Adhesives when applying, the surfaces must be absolutely free of dust, grease, and silicone, which you can best achieve with special cleaners and by lightly sanding the contact surfaces. Pay close attention to the intended use of each product: For example, a spray adhesive primarily serves as a draping aid to prevent the fabric from slipping before resin application and does not have any structural final strength, while a body adhesive (often PU-based) is specifically designed for permanently and elastically bonding components.
