Abstract:
Practical application of construction adhesives is required under various climatic conditions and in various environments. The temperature of an environment alone is regarded a limiting factor from the logistics point of view influencing the effectiveness of subsequent application, namely in winter months. The aim of the experimental part is to define the influence of temperature as an essential logistics factor subsequently influencing the resultant strength of the adhesive bond at its application. Further, redress of adhesives properties after extreme temperatures of storing, transit, etc. was investigated. Higher temperatures reached during the logistics flows negatively influence the adhesive bond strength. The temperature also influences change in the failure area.
