Adhesives

We are a supplier and service company specializing in the assembly of parts using adhesives. At Modulus Metal, we offer a wide range of adhesives to meet the specific needs of our customers.

FLEXIBLE adhesives are ideal for bonding materials that may experience movement or vibration.

Some examples of flexible adhesives that we offer include:

  • Neoprene: a synthetic rubber adhesive that is resistant to oil, weather, and ageing
  • Nitrile: an adhesive made from a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene, known for its high resistance to oil and fuels
  • Polyurethane: a strong and flexible adhesive that is resistant to abrasion and impact
  • Silicones: a family of adhesives known for their high-temperature resistance and flexibility

RIGID adhesives are best suited for bonding materials that will not experience movement or vibration.

Some examples of rigid adhesives that we offer include:

  • Acrylic: a strong and durable adhesive that is resistant to water and UV light
  • Anaerobic: an adhesive that cures in the absence of oxygen, ideal for bonding metal parts
  • Cyanoacrylates: a fast-setting adhesive that is resistant to water and chemicals
  • Epoxy: a strong and durable adhesive that is resistant to heat and chemicals
  • Inorganic: an adhesive made from inorganic materials, such as ceramics or glass
  • Phenolic: an adhesive made from phenol and formaldehyde, known for its high heat resistance
  • Polyester: a strong and durable adhesive that is resistant to UV light and water
  • Polysulfide: an adhesive that is resistant to water, fuels, and oils

SOLVENT BONDING is a method of bonding materials by using a solvent to soften and dissolve the surfaces to be joined. This method is often used when bonding materials that are not compatible with other adhesives.

At Modulus Metal, we have the expertise and equipment necessary to assemble parts using the appropriate adhesive for your specific needs. Whether you are in need of a small batch of parts or a large volume, we have the capability to meet your needs.

Thank you for considering Modulus Metal for your adhesive assembly needs. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your project in more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
