Guinness World Record
3 grams of adhesive hold a truck weighing several tons
According to the Guinness Book of Records, Delo has the strongest adhesive in the world. 3 grams of Delo Monopox hold a 17.5-ton truck above the ground for one hour. The truck is suspended from a bonded aluminum cylinder with a diameter of 3.5 cm.
The company Delo has set a world record for adhesives. Using the high-temperature resistant Delo Monopox high-tech adhesive, a 17.5 t truck was held one meter above the ground for one hour. For the Guinness World Record, the weight was held on a bonded aluminum cylinder with a diameter of 3.5 cm.
The adhesive developed for the record attempt is a high-temperature-resistant, single-component, heat-curing epoxy resin adhesive Delo Monopox VE403728, a modified version of Delo Monopox HT2860. This epoxy resin forms a particularly dense network thanks to the hot curing process. It has been modified with a special filler, among other things, to meet the extreme strength requirements of the world record. The Delo Monopox series is characterized by high strength and is used in industries such as the automotive industry or mechanical and plant engineering.
With the new record, Delo is 7 percent above the previous official record of 16.3 tons.
