Ambulances, tractors, refrigerated trucks, motor homes, etc. These specialty vehicles all require the use of assembly and sealing solutions.
For example, for campers and caravans, many applications are possible:
In specialty vehicles, the number one issue for assembly is watertightness.
The assembly methods must meet three criteria:
Below are examples of the use of ADDEV Materials assembly solutions for motorhomes and caravans:
The interior trim of motor homes is made up of panels, plates, and various accessories that are assembled to the vehicle structure.
Depending on constraints such as the weight of these accessories, different types of products can be used:
Panels that require particularly strong fastening can be assembled using structural adhesives such as methacrylate, polyurethane (PU) or epoxy.
In motorhomes, PVC floor coverings can wear out and need to be replaced. To fix these floor coverings, the use of double-sided adhesive tape based on film, non-woven, or transfer is the most practical solution, as it facilitates the replacements of the worn-out covering.
Like many accessories, mirrors can either be glued or attached with double-sided polyethylene foam adhesives.
Decorative patterns on exterior paints can be applied by masking, using single-sided paper, PVC or PET tape.
Protective films are used for surface protection on body parts, e.g. to proectect against gravel impacts or scratches. For permanent, long-lasting protection, the use of single-sided PU tapes is particularly effective.
For the insulation of caravans and motor homes, it is possible to inject insulating foams, but also to stick panels directly to the walls, for example, with double-sided adhesive tape.
These panels can be joined with single-sided tape on a non-woven, PET, or fabric base.
Cables can be fixed using single-sided tapes based on PE, PET felt, or canvas.
For aesthetic and waterproofing reasons, holes are either filled with silicone, MS polymer sealant, or with single-sided sealing tape.
The sealants used for the sealing of the external parts (roof) are designed to resist expansion, UV and external aggression.
