With its ability to be applied without a primer, eco-friendly formula free of solvents and isocyanates, wide temperature tolerance, and superior bonding strength, it provides excellent results on metal-metal, glass-metal, and other surfaces. This article will thoroughly cover the functions of industrial adhesives, the bonding processes for metal and glass, the selection of the right product, and application tips.

What are Industrial Adhesives?

Industrial adhesives are specialized adhesives used to permanently and strongly bond different materials. By providing strong adhesion on surfaces such as metal, glass, plastic, composites, and rubber, they both accelerate production processes and offer an alternative to traditional mechanical connections. Especially preferred in heavy industries, automotive, construction, and manufacturing sectors, they provide a lighter and more durable connection compared to processes like welding and screwing.

When selecting industrial adhesives, factors such as material type, mechanical durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors are critical. MS Polymer-based adhesives like Polymera MS 965, with their high modulus and elastic properties, offer maximum performance in various industrial applications, creating strong and long-lasting bonds.

What Are Industrial Adhesives Used For?

Industrial adhesives are specially formulated adhesives designed to securely bond metal, glass, plastic, and other surfaces. Compared to traditional mechanical fastening methods, they provide lighter, more flexible, and impact-resistant connections. They offer a reliable solution for structures exposed to vibrations, high temperatures, or outdoor conditions.

These adhesives are widely used in automotive manufacturing, body assembly, container production, and industrial machinery manufacturing. Polymera MS 965, with its high strength and superior sealing properties, provides a dependable bond—especially at metal joints—enhancing structural integrity.

Advantages of Solvent-Free Industrial Adhesives

Traditional adhesives containing solvents can pose risks to both human health and the environment due to their chemical contents. During curing, they release harmful gases that may require ventilation in the workplace. Additionally, some solvent-based adhesives may experience volume loss over time, leading to weakened bond points.

Solvent-free industrial adhesives like Polymera MS 965 offer a safer option with eco-friendly formulas that are not harmful to human health. With low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) values, Polymera MS 965 ensures no negative impact on the health of individuals in enclosed spaces. Its solvent-free structure also prevents unpleasant odors during application, providing a safe and comfortable working environment. Furthermore, solvent-free adhesives cure without any volume loss, creating long-lasting and strong bonds.

Advantages of Isocyanate-Free Industrial Adhesives

Isocyanates, a chemical component widely used in the production of various industrial and commercial materials, are toxic chemicals found in some insulation materials. Isocyanates are highly reactive and have low molecular weight. They are commonly used in the production of flexible and rigid foams, paints, varnishes, polishes, some insulation materials, and certain types of synthetic rubber.

Many insulation materials contain isocyanate compounds, which can be absorbed by the skin during application and irritate the outer layer of the skin. Since isocyanates can irritate mucous membranes and skin, they can harm the respiratory system. Prolonged exposure to isocyanates may lead to sensitivity, causing allergic reactions in individuals.

The best solution to avoid the negative effects of isocyanates is to choose insulation materials and adhesives that are free of isocyanates and solvents, creating healthier and more sustainable environments.

Both designers and consumers are increasingly inclined to select products that offer good architectural performance and high quality. MS Polymer-based materials, which are considered healthy products, are next-generation hybrid polymers with high technological innovation. To minimize harmful effects in building materials, healthy products should be selected that either contain no toxic substances or are formulated at safe levels for users, thereby ensuring the creation of ecological internal environments in buildings.

Additionally, its high modulus structure provides strong and flexible bonds on iron surfaces, preventing deformation caused by vibrations and impact forces.

Why High Modulus and Strong Adhesion Are Important in Industrial Adhesives

For rigid surfaces like iron, the high modulus property of an adhesive is crucial to prevent the bonded surface from loosening or detaching over time. Polymera MS 965, with its high modulus, can tolerate movements at the bonding points and create a durable connection over the long term. This feature is especially important for providing reliable and long-lasting adhesion in heavy industries, automotive, and construction sectors.

Strong adhesion not only enhances the physical strength of the connection but also helps protect metal surfaces by providing a seal against water, dust, and chemicals. While traditional adhesives may experience volume loss over time, Polymera MS 965 maintains its volume and provides high-strength bonding for an extended period. As a result, it offers superior performance against both mechanical and environmental factors on metal surfaces.

How Vibration Absorption and Impact Resistance Benefit Industrial Adhesives

Iron adhesives must have high vibration absorption and impact resistance, as adhesive surfaces in heavy industrial applications and the automotive industry are constantly exposed to vibrations and mechanical impacts. Polymera MS 965, with its elastic and flexible structure, absorbs these vibrations and sudden load changes, ensuring the stability of the bond.

Impact resistance is especially crucial for moving parts or structures carrying heavy loads. Polymera MS 965, with its strong adhesion and flexibility, balances the forces at the bonding points and prevents potential breakages.

What to Consider When Bonding Glass and Metal Surfaces

Bonding glass and metal surfaces requires careful application due to their different material properties. The smooth, hard surface of glass and the varying expansion coefficients of metal necessitate an adhesive that is both strong and elastic. Polymera MS 965 is a high-strength, flexible industrial adhesive specifically developed to strengthen the bond between glass and metal.

One of the key factors in this process is the proper surface preparation before application. If the glass and metal surfaces are not adequately cleaned, or if there are residues of oil, dust, or dirt, it can negatively affect adhesion performance. When applied with proper surface preparation, Polymera MS 965 cures without volume loss, providing a strong and long-lasting bond.

Surface Preparations for Bonding Glass and Metal Surfaces

Surface preparation is a critical step in enhancing the adhesive strength when bonding glass and metal. Glass surfaces, which are typically smooth, must be cleaned thoroughly with appropriate cleaners to remove oil and dirt. Metal surfaces may contain rust or oxidation; therefore, light sanding may be necessary to ensure the surface is suitable for bonding.
Polymera MS 965 is a primerless adhesive that offers high adhesion performance. However, in some cases, based on the condition of the glass or metal surface, a primer may be recommended. After applying the adhesive, the glass and metal surfaces must be correctly positioned and left undisturbed during the curing process. This is a crucial step to ensure a strong, long-lasting bond.

High-Strength Bonding Power of Polymera MS 965

When bonding materials such as glass and metal, using a high-strength adhesive is necessary. Polymera MS 965 provides a robust connection between glass and metal surfaces, and its flexible structure allows it to adapt to expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, preventing the adhesive from breaking or cracking.
