Structural Adhesives For Vehicle Conversions
High performing structural 2 part adhesives offer an alternative to traditional fixings where an invisible yet solid bond is required.
Vehicle converters use structural adhesives for challenging applications, often bonding dissimilar materials in high stress environments where there could be vibration and peel stresses on the joint, broad temperature ranges, impact, and heavy wear and tear.

Button-fix has several uses, one of which is for van conversions and re-fits. Phil, Technical Manager for Button-fix says that, “Any panel on the wall or ceiling required to be removeable for service access can be fixed with a Type 1 Button-fix. Anything requiring very frequent removal or reconfiguring might be best using Type 1 Metal Button-fix for its strength and good detent life. Type 2 are useful for smaller push-on panels within cupboards or plinths but should not be used on ceiling panels. I would also consider the need to ensure that ceiling panels, in particular, are ‘locked’ or trapped in situ, to avoid detachment due to acceleration, deceleration or severe bumps”.
A classic example of Button-fix in use is for banquette seating in boats, yachts and ferries, but are also used by coachbuilders for horse boxes and other recreational vehicles.
A good case study is Tim Brotherton’s van. Tim used Button-fix to attach interior panels to the shell of the van. In this case it is an upholstered panel but commonly they are hard, plywood panels for decoration or protection. Panels need to be removable to access electrics or fittings such as water pumps that might be concealed behind. We have more examples of how customers have used Button-fix to create storage for tools and work materials within their vans.
For those transporting goods such as furniture, or using internal frames to carry or support motorcycles or other vehicles in vans, it is recommended that you use Button-fix Type 1 Metal rebated into plywood flooring. These fixes will not disengage even on the bumpiest roads – watch this video to see how much G-force these fixes can take!

When working with Adhesives and Sealants or any bonding product, it is vital that the surface is cleaned correctly. Each surface needs to be free from dirt, grease and contamination prior to bonding. In some cases a primer may be required and it is critical that the correct primer is used. It may also be the case that light abrasion is required to help the bonding product key into the surface.
Due to the changing raw material content and surface finishes of some substrates, it is essential that all of our adhesives and tapes should be tested by the customer to ensure substrate and performance compatibility for each application. Please contact us for any advice. We do not accept any liability for product failure.
