Adhesive solutions for industry

Adhesive solutions play an essential role in industry today. They can be used to assemble, fix, protect, insulate or secure a wide variety of components, while meeting performance, durability and process optimisation requirements. Thanks to a wide range of technical tapes, foams, films and industrial adhesives, manufacturers have reliable solutions tailored to their mechanical, thermal and environmental constraints.

On this page, find out how adhesive solutions for industry improve manufacturing, assembly and maintenance, their advantages, their applications by sector and ADDEV Materials's expertise in supporting manufacturers.

What is an adhesive solution for industry?

Adhesive solutions for industry cover all products used to fix, assemble, protect or insulate parts in a production environment. They include :

  • technical adhesive tapes (for fixing, masking, insulating, holding cables, etc.)

  • adhesive foams (damping, sealing, anti-vibration)

  • industrial adhesives (multi-material bonding, mechanical substitution)

  • protective films (manufacture, transport, installation)

These solutions make it possible to replace mechanical fasteners, facilitate the integration of parts, improve safety and reduce production costs.

The benefits of adhesive solutions for industry

Adhesive solutions play a major role in industrial performance. They offer a number of operational advantages:

Technical performance

They ensure durable fixing of components, resist mechanical, chemical or thermal stresses, and enable clean, controlled integration.

Lighter and simpler assemblies

Unlike mechanical fasteners, adhesives reduce weight, avoid drilling and facilitate multi-material assembly (metal, plastic, composite, etc.).

Improving production quality

Tapes and films provide clean masking, protection during transport or assembly, and a reduction in surface defects.

Cost optimisation

Adhesives reduce the number of complex operations, cut material losses and speed up assembly processes.

FAQ - Adhesive solutions for industry

The most commonly used solutions are technical tapes, adhesive foams, protective films, industrial glues and double-sided assembly adhesives.

Industrial adhesives offer superior resistance to impact, heat, UV, humidity and solvents, and meet specific standards depending on the sector.

You need to analyse the materials to be assembled, the mechanical and thermal constraints, the environment of use and the assembly process. Our experts can help you define the right product.

 

Yes, adhesives are increasingly replacing screwing, riveting or welding, in particular to reduce weight, simplify assembly and avoid defects associated with drilling.

Some films are designed to resist abrasion, scratches, shocks and chemical stresses. They protect sensitive surfaces during manufacture, transport or installation.
