In this blog, we explore the different types of industrial adhesives we offer and why choose SuperBond for your industrial adhesive solutions.
What are industrial adhesives?
In many factories or manufacturing plants, there are a number of materials that need to be combined to create the final product. Industrial adhesives are stable bonding agents that can create a lasting or permanent bond between surfaces that can handle repeated use, heat, chemicals, and other strains and stresses.
Industrial adhesive products can bond different surfaces such as metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics in goods made for automobiles, furniture, electronics, packaging, and more. Industrial adhesives can also reduce or take the place of mechanical fastening materials like screws, bolts, or spot/dot welding. A product can be lighter and potentially stronger bonded with an adhesive than with mechanical fastening.
SuperBond manufactures different industrial adhesive formulations, including hot melt adhesives, water-based adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and rubber-based adhesives. Each of these industrial adhesives is formulated to address specific bonding needs.
Different types of industrial adhesives manufactured by Superbond
Superbond Adhesives has been a trusted name in the adhesive manufacturing industry for over four decades. Our comprehensive range of hot-melt, water-based, and rubber-based adhesives serves multiple industries, providing reliable bonding solutions that meet the demanding requirements of modern manufacturing processes.
-
Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt glues are in solid form. They are liquid when heated and they solidify to create strong, long lasting bonds upon cooling. Hot melts can bond a variety of substrates including metal, plastic, rubber, ceramic, glass, wood, paper, leather, fabric, and foam.
SuperBond’s hot melt adhesives are specifically designed for various paper converting and packaging applications, such as book binding, paper bags, soap wrappers, courier bags, glue sticks, etc. SuperBond’s hot melt adhesives deliver benefits such as fast setting times, high bond strength, and no solvent or cures used in construction.
-
Rubber Based Adhesives
Rubber-based adhesives are produced when natural or synthetic rubber is dissolved in an organic solvent (toluene, hexane or heptane, etc.).
SuperBond rubber-based adhesives come in liquid form and provide instant tack, flexibility, durability, and moisture resistance, forming effective bonds. They come in both brushable and sprayable forms, offering applications in automotives, foams, HVAC systems, footwear and leather products, mattress manufacturing, and construction.
-
Water-Based Adhesives
Water based adhesives are those adhesive solutions that use water as the primary carrier. These adhesives include ingredients like polymers, resins, or other bonding agents, which are dispersed or dissolved in water. When applied to a surface, the water gradually evaporates or is absorbed into the material, leaving behind a strong adhesive film that bonds the surfaces together.
SuperBond water-based adhesives offer eco-friendly and safe bonding solutions with low VOCs and non-flammable formulations. They are easy to apply and provide strong and consistent adhesion. They have versatile applications in packaging, woodworking, bookbinding, textiles, footwear, and automotive applications—all while being cost-effective and reliable.
-
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives
Pressure sensitive adhesives stay solid at room temperature and melt quickly when heated. They create a strong, durable bond when pressure is applied. Available in pellets, blocks, or sticks, they are applied using hot melt equipment such as rollers, nozzles, or guns. These adhesives provide instant tack and excellent adhesion to paper, plastic, metal, and fabric.
They are widely used in hygiene and medical products, packaging and sealing applications, tapes, and labelling, offering reliable performance and long-lasting bond strength across various industries.
