Industrial adhesive bonding

What is adhesive bonding?

Adhesive bonding is an industrial process that involves applying an adhesive layer to a material to transform it into a self-adhesive substrate. The adhesive is applied by dry phase on film, foam, technical textiles or any other substrate. The result is a unique product that combines the properties of the base material with those of the chosen adhesive.

The main objective of adhesive bonding is to render a non-adhesive material functional, ready for direct use in assembly, fixing or protection. This technique enables manufacturers to improve efficiency while guaranteeing optimum reliability.

The benefits of adhesive bonding

Complexing Adhesive Coating

Adhesive bonding offers numerous benefits, both in terms of production and finished product performance:

  • Quick and easy assembly No need for screws, rivets or liquid adhesives; application is immediate.

  • Reliability and consistency The thickness, width and quality of the adhesive are controlled, guaranteeing repeatable performance.

  • Versatility Compatible with a wide range of substrates including metal, plastic, glass, wood and composites.

  • Lower production costs Fewer steps in the chain, less waste, better ergonomics for operators.

  • Customisation choice of adhesive (acrylic, rubber, silicone), thickness and liner to adapt to the constraints of the sector.

Typical adhesive applications

Adhesive bonding is used in many industrial sectors where performance, reliability and speed of assembly are essential. This versatility makes it a solution adopted in a wide range of applications. key markets such as mobility, electronics buildingthe medical sector and packaging. Each area has its own specific applications, which are detailed below.

Mobility

  • Fixing decorative or functional films to interior panels.

  • Installation of acoustic and thermal foams to improve passenger comfort.

  • Bonding of seals and technical tapes to reinforce watertightness.

Electronics and energy

  • Creation of double-sided supports for sensors, connectors or wiring.

  • Fixing of heat sinks or insulating films.

  • Assembly of sensitive components requiring a clean, solvent-free process.

Building and construction

  • Thermal and acoustic insulation using adhesive foams.

  • Temporary protection of painted, polished or glazed surfaces during a worksite.

  • Interior finishes with pre-adhesive coatings.

Health and medical devices

  • Technical adhesives for attaching biomedical sensors.

  • Protective films and flexible supports for portable devices.

  • Solutions that meet the requirements of sterile environments.

Packaging and miscellaneous industries

  • Manufacture of complex double-sided liners.

FAQ - Industrial adhesives

Adhesive bonding is faster, lighter and often more aesthetically pleasing. Unlike mechanical fasteners, it does not damage substrates and improves watertightness.

Metals, plastics, composites, technical textiles, foams, films, glass: the technique is versatile and can be adapted to most materials.

Yes, depending on the adhesive chosen (acrylic, silicone, rubber), it is possible to guarantee resistance to high temperatures, UV rays or certain solvents.

The main markets are the automotive, aerospace, electronics, construction and medical sectors, but its scope of application is much wider.

Yes. ADDEV Materials offers solutions to suit every specification, with material + adhesive combinations designed to meet your technical requirements.
