To securely bond aluminum profiles to metal railcar door frames being built for BR 423 Siemens Bombardier trains that run on suburban railway systems throughout Germany, Araldite 2015 epoxy from Vantico, Los Angeles, is proving to be the ideal adhesive. The high-performance epoxy features a combination of flexibility and impact strength, and the ability to withstand exposure to a variety of weather extremes.
Schlosser Metallbau GmbH, Nurnberg, Germany, manufacturer of the railcar doors, specializes in the development, production and assembly of metal parts used on railway carriages. According to engineers on the project, the Araldite 2015 adhesive is easy to handle and provides the durability required for the demanding transportation application.
