3M’s comprehensive range of adhesives, sealants and tapes offers the rail industry both internal and external joint design solutions for structurally bonding and sealing components.
These adhesives can offer many solutions when it comes to train maintenance. From reducing weight, noise, vibration and cost to improving productivity by removing the requirement for mechanical fasteners (screws, bolts, rivets, etc) and their associated preparation (drilling/punching holes, assembly tools, etc). They can also replace welding and the refinishing work frequently required to provide an aesthetic surface finish after welding.
