Facade Technology

High-strength glass bonding – a new era in façade design?

In the façade industry, glass panes have been bonded to aluminium frames with UV-resistant silicone adhesives for 40 years with almost unchanged mechanical strength. Modern architecture now calls for slimmer, filigree metal frame work and bigger glass panels  in complex free-form constructions. This challenges the application limits of existing adhesive products.
