Our In-Mold Bond (IMB™) adhesives and primers are non-tacky, polymer-based coatings that when applied under heat and pressure provide a structural bond to a rigid or elastomeric polymer. IMB adhesives are designed for bonding platinum-cured silicone rubber to a variety of thermoplastic and metal substrates during the injection molding process. The list of substrates compatible with IMB adhesives and platinum-cured silicones is ever-growing and includes substrates like stainless steel, aluminum, polycarbonate and nylon.
Chemlok adhesives are designed to bond unvulcanized peroxide-cured silicone rubber to various substrates such as metal, glass, plastics and textiles during the compression molding process. We offer both solvent and aqueous one-coat solutions.
These adhesives are versatile, environmentally resistant and durable. They provide excellent bonding characteristics between a wide range of commercially available elastomer stocks and many diverse metallic and non-metallic substrates. At high or low temperatures, these adhesives provide rubber tearing bonds that are stronger than the rubber.
Applying our In-Mold Bonding adhesives and primers to a rigid substrate provides a structural bond when over-molded with thermoplastic or liquid silicone rubber. This technology enables assemblies between plastics, silicones and metals to be made during the molding process.
