Underwater Adhesives Study

Abstract

Under Work Assignment No. 4 of Contract DAAD05-74-C-0723 by The Franklin Institute Research Laboratories (FIRL) for the U.S. Army Land Warfare Laboratory, three commercially available adhesives were evaluated for underwater use. Of the three items tested for quick and effective bonds (lap shear) the National Cash Register Company's (NCR) product appears to have the most promise; however, additional efforts will be required for formula improvement and for a device to apply the compound to mission substrates.
