Material surfacesthat are particularly prone to weak or loose surface-layers, stress cracking or solvent attack usually require specialtreatment.Following appropriate preparation, most engineering metals, or their alloys, can be bonded satisfactorily. However,the optimisation of the durability of a metal-based joint usually requires the introduction of progressively more complexand specific treatments.The majority of both thermoset and thermoplastics materials can be prepared by commonly applicable techniques.Were it not for contamination and residual mould release agents, the thermoset plastics (e.g. polyepoxy andpolyester composites) would bond well without any preparation at all. By contrast, most thermoplastics requirecareful preparation because of their low surface energy. However, while the techniques required are generallyapplicable there will often be differences in the process detail.Some paints - especially the cataphoretic, water-based primers used by the vehicle industries, can provide anexcellent surface for bonding. Nevertheless, a check of the stability of the interface below the paint isrecommended. Sometimes the surface of the paint, even if fresh, can require treatment in order to raise its freeenergy and thus facilitate wetting.Certain adhesives possess the ability to dissolve light oils and some polymeric materials. Consequently, for joints thatare not "safety-critical" some surfaces do not require any preparation at all prior to bonding.The various methods provided for cleaning and modifying surfaces are drawn from current and developing practice.The techniques described can be used in a variety of combinations to create the basis of a practical, preparativeprocess that will provide enhanced environmental durability.SIST EN 13887:2003
