while not feeling the squeeze on their margins.” “From a small restoration such as a broken bumper, or a more major repair such as structural damage to a vehicle which requires cutting out the old part and replacing it with new ones, a simple and versatile adhesive can fix the issue. Not only do TEROSON adhesives increase productivity, the best-in-class bonds maintain OEM finishes to ensure bodyshops keep their outstanding reputations.” The pocket guide looks at rebuilding, replacing and repairing, and how TEROSON products can help. On rebuilding, Julian observed: “The adhesive range for rebuilding is broad and mainly chosen based on the substrates that need to be rebuilt. Common technologies are MS, EP and PU. Remember; ebuilding is often a time- and resource-saving alternative to replacing parts. On replacement, he said: “Structural damage requires cutting out old parts and replacing them with new ones. Due to the size of the replaced parts, and the need to retain the structural integrity of the car, high-strength, structural bonding power is needed. This is the premium class within collision repair and requires comprehensive knowledge and practice to re-establish original structural integrity.” On repair, he noted: “The things that can be fixed relatively easily, include bumpers, broken bumper clips, or components of similar complexity. These can be solved quickly with a selection of TEROSON solutions for smart repair. “The solvent-free adhesives provide high-strength, impact resistant solutions that are crash safety tested at extreme temperatures with easy preparation and application, ensuring professionals can take full advantage and further save time.” Julian added: “TEROSON actively collaborates with customers, suppliers and partners to find the best solution for each customer. By sharing knowledge, TERSON hope to empower all clients in navigating the challenge of making the right choice with adhesives first time, every time.” To view the pocket guide, go to: https://dm.henkeldam.com/is/content/henkel/1-20161-Version-ofHE22017_TEROSON_Pocket_Guide_WE_A6_Master.indd-UK NOVEMBER 2023 AFTERMARKET 47 www.aftermarketonline.net Mirka: New cutting and grinding range A new range of cutting and grinding products suited to panel beating, welding, rust removal, and metal fabrication has been made available by Mirka UK, across two product ranges.
