COLD WEATHER AND VIBRATION TEST

TruckAds® Frame Adhesive is Tested Against Rivets, Welding and Epoxy
A trailer manufacturer evaluated various fastening techniques (including the adhesive used in TruckAds Frame Kits™) as alternative methods to welding of interior and exterior truckside body panels. The traditional assembly process consisted of welding metal panels to the underlying aluminum frame.

Here is the Strength Comparison Test Procedure
The outdoor "Vibration and Cold Weather Test" that was conducted, ran continuously for 7 months (September thru March), with an estimated 7.45 million cycles - equivalent to about 15 years of over the road truck panel stress. The lifespan of a truck or trailer is estimated at eight years.

Four fastening techniques were tested. Welding, rivets, one and two-part epoxy resin adhesives and VHB® adhesive used in the construction of TruckAds® frames and Truck Ads® Secur-tabs®.

A metal frame testing bed was used for performance analysis of each of these fastening methods. The test device was suspended by a motorized rocking arm. The rocking arm, flexed the truck body panel in a 1.24 inch elliptical path at 44 degrees from the panel's vertical center line at a rate of 500-600 cycles per minute. A test sample of each fastening type was attached to the device.

Test Results Determines the Strongest Method
After the first week, all epoxy bonds failed. By the end of the test period, all riveted portions had broken free and half of the welded panels had failed or welds had cracked as a result of the continuous pounding.

1. TRUCKADS FRAME KIT™ ADHESIVE (no connections failed)
2. Welding (half of all connections failed)
3. Rivets (all connections failed)
4. Epoxy™ Glue (all connections failed)

"The panel fastened with the TruckAds® frame adhesive was still secure at the end of the seven month test period and showed no signs of failure."

"TruckAds Frame Kits™ are proven to be the strongest in the truck media industry."
