IS 13199 : 1991 Adhesives-Guidelines for surface preparation for adhesive bonding

1 Scope

1.1 This standard covers prepared prebond surface treatment forvarious types of substrate which have been broadly grouped in thisfour categories:

a) Surface preparation for metal,

b) Surface preparation for plastics,

c) Surface preparation for elastomers, and

d) Miscellaneous surface preparation.

1.2 Where dissimilar surfaces are intended to be bonded, likeglass and metal, rubber and plastic etc, the appropriate andwherever possible, the same method of surface preparation shall beused.

1.3 This guide is not intended to eliminate bond failures whichmay be due to wrong selection of adhesives and inappropriatemethods of bonding.
