MEGUM™ rubber-to-substrate adhesives are used to bond a variety of elastomer compounds to metal and plastic substrates including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, zinc, copper, polyamides, polyacetals, polyesters, and PTFE.
Most formulations are low-viscosity, organic, solvent-based solutions and/or dispersion of polymers and other reactive chemicals. Water-based formulations are also available.
THIXON™ bonding agents can be custom-formulated for the specific bonding requirements of various substrates and conditions. We also offer a full line of low-VOC and HAP-compliant systems to help reduce emissions.
THIXON™ performs well in extremely severe environments and is suited for many automotive applications.
