Cordobond International BV has a long history and has existed now for many decades. Cordobond was developed during World War II as an emergency repair product for stricken warcraft. The product Cordobond was specifically developed to quickly and permanently repair steam, gas, water and oil pipes. Damage below the waterline or in watertight compartments and pipes required that the Cordobond repair product could be applied quickly and simply. It was paramount that repairs could be conducted under difficult conditions with a minimum of pre-treatment and without any other tools such as welding equipment being required.
