How do I get the best bond from my adhesives?
When it comes to industrial adhesives, strength starts at the surface. Without proper preparation, even the most advanced bonding solutions won’t perform to their full potential.
At Gleicher, we work closely with design engineers and production teams to achieve high-performance adhesion across a wide range of materials and applications. It starts with surface preparation—removing contaminants like oils, carbon, dirt, plastic particles, and metal shavings is essential for creating an optimal bond.
Sometimes, achieving a strong adhesive bond requires more than just a clean surface. Surface preparation techniques, such as Corona Treatment, may be necessary to improve adhesion by enhancing the surface energy of the material or substrate.
Why Surface Prep Matters:
- Enhances contact strength and bond integrity
- Increases adhesive lifespan and resistance to failure
- Supports complex and tight-tolerance geometries
- Increases the performance of adhesives
Surface Preparation isn't optional; it's critical. Whether you're bonding, fastening, or both, Gleicher helps you get it right from the start.
