High-Performance Adhesives For The Ski Slopes

The “Winter Sports Adhesive Range” from ruderer

Perfect quality and functionality for equipment and technology in winter sports are the top priority for manufacturers and athletes alike. But high-performance adhesives from RUDERER Klebstoffe are not only used in skis, snowboards and ski goggles, but also in gondolas and ski maps.

The world of winter sports is characterized by adrenaline, precision and fun. However, to prevent accidents or injuries, technically sound equipment is a must. The dynamics of sports development are creating ever more unusual design and product innovations, whose flawless workmanship and functionality are top priority for both manufacturers and athletes. In order to offer winter athletes the highest level of safety and performance in icy cold, snow and humidity, manufacturers of skis, snowboards and ski goggles rely on adhesive technology. But the use of high-performance adhesives is also becoming increasingly important when building and repairing cable car cabins or integrating chips into ski cards. Since innovative lightweight construction solutions are often a guarantee of safety and optimal usage behavior and also offer many design options, adhesive technology is required to connect this mix of shapes and materials at a high quality level with long-term stability. Because snow, moisture and sun are constant companions in winter sports, the adhesives used not only have to be water-repellent and UV-resistant, but also flexible enough to compensate for the continuous stresses that affect them, such as pressure and vibrations. RUDERER KLEBETECHNIK GmbH has tailored its high-tech adhesives precisely to these very high requirements. Their versatile properties enable force-fitting bonding, which guarantees long-lasting security and tightness as well as constant protection against extreme weather conditions. It gets cold. So it's time for good contacts and the question of which RUDERER adhesives are best suited for these special requirements.
