At Solico, we continuously invest in technical expertise to better support our clients. Last year, our colleague Menno de Waal completed the European Adhesive Specialist course. Together with a strong structural engineering background, this combination allows us to look at bonding not just as a material choice, but as a critical part of the overall structural design.
We understand how bonded joints behave under real loads, fatigue and environmental conditions, and how adhesive properties influence stiffness, strength and long-term durability of composite structures. This enables us to support our clients in a joint effort in designing the most optimal joint design, surface preparation, manufacturing processes and testing strategies.
For our customers, this translates into lower technical risk, faster development cycles and greater confidence in bonded composite structures. They benefit from lighter, more efficient designs, reliable production processes and bonding solutions that perform consistently in real operating conditions, not just in laboratory tests.
