Improved Product Quality
Making Products Better for Us All!
Adhesives and sealants make every product they are used in better! Increasing the quality of thousands of products all around us, adhesives and sealants facilitate benefits that mechanical bonding methods cannot deliver. Adhesives and sealants are vital to manufacturers looking to improve the quality of their products.
From facilitating tight bonds between close fitting surfaces and eliminating distortion to sealing against moisture, contaminents and the harsh operating environments that many products must operate in, adhesives and sealants solve many product quality issues and allow designers and engineers the freedom to design the products of their dreams and manufacturers the ability to deliver the absolute highest quality products that they can in order to compete in the marketplace.
Seven unique ways adhesives & sealants improve product quality…
Eliminates damage to painted/laminated surfaces.

Specific Applications Include:
Rail Car Panels
Aircraft
Market: Transportation
Application Area: Aircraft and Aerospace
Specific Applications Include:
Aerospace Cabin Assembly
Eliminates distortion or discoloration of parts caused by thermal joining methods.
Hermetically seals against moisture, salts, UV light and other environmental conditions.
Industrial Machinery
Market: Assembly (Rigid)
Application Area: Machinery
Specific Applications Include:
Stainless Steel Door Assembly
Windows
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Exterior/Interior Cladding & Fenestrations
Specific Applications Include:
Structural Window Glazing – specially formulated silicone sealants which bond glass, metal, stone or other infill panels to framing members. Previously, windows and architectural panels were adhered to a building’s structure via mechanical retention (based on gaskets), which tended to be less resistent to rain, snow and other environmental factors.
Application Area: Window Assembly
Specific Applications Include:
Manufacturing of Insulating Glass Units
Cars, Trucks, Buses
Market: Transporation
Application Area: Vehicle Assemby
Specific Applications Include:
Automotive Windshield Bonding
Provides sound and vibration dampening.
Floors
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Building Envelope
Specific Applications Include:
Adhesives reduce the sound transfer in buildings between the individual floors.
Cars, Trucks, Buses
Market: Transporation
Application Area: Vehicle Assemby
Specific Applications Include:
Adhesives – bonding cured-in-place rubber gaskets to metal, reduce wind noise, making for a quieter ride
Structural Window Glazing – specially formulated silicone sealants which bond glass, metal, stone or other infill panels to framing members. Previously, windows and architectural panels were adhered to a building’s structure via mechanical retention (based on gaskets), which were less effective at sealing out noise and vibration.
Reduces stress concentration associated with screw/rivet holes.
Windows
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Exterior/Interior Cladding & Fenestrations
Specific Applications Include:
Structural Window Glazing – Refers to the use of specially formulated silicone sealants which bond glass, metal, stone or other infill panels to framing members. Previously, windows and architectural panels were adhered to a building’s structure via mechanical retention which tended to create localized stress points attributed to screw holes.
Trucks
Market: Transportation
Application Area: Vehicle Assembly
Specific Applications Include:
Bonding of Edge Profiles in Truck Assembly
