Bonding rubber to metal and plastic substrates requires a custom-formulated adhesive system with a strong, reliable and lasting grip. To meet this demand, formulators have created versatile, customizable adhesives to meet specific requirements.

Polymer Adhesive Applications

Units bonded with these adhesive agents are often used in the isolation of noise and vibration in automotive and engineering applications. Specific industries and applications that use bonding adhesives include military, electrical and industrial. Applications include hose, mounts, seals, instrument panels, transformers, cable connectors, power line insulators, hydraulic hoses, storage tanks and vibration grommets. These products can also be used in military applications, ranging from tank pads and defense missiles to mechanical bushings.
