When compared with mechanical fixings, adhesives offer a number of benefits for sound insulation.

Not only is the bond more durable and stable, preventing shifting of the materials over time, which results in improved performance, but the seamless installation also creates additional design options and a better aesthetic. Ease of use is also a big bonus, adhesives being faster and far easier to apply.

The manufacture of all manner of farm machinery can benefit from the use of adhesives, including tractors, combines, backhoes, and skid steers. Glues offer structural bonding, threadlocking, thread sealing, gasketing, and retaining properties.

Advantages of adhesives in agricultural machinery:

• Replace or enhance mechanical fastenings
• Allow for the use of lighter weight materials
• Reduce operating noise
• Reduce vibration and loosening joints over time
• Prevent leakage & protect against corrosion
• Reduce overall weight & reduce fuel consumption
• Improve safety performance in crash testing
• Increased design options, product quality & value

In addition to all these benefits, adhesives also help to streamline manufacturing processes and reduce manufacturing costs due to reduced need for mechanical fixings and skilled labour, increased automation options, and faster application methods.

Adhesives are a must in cabling and pipe sealing for performance and durability, offering multiple benefits from one product.

Sealing capacity is the most relevant in these applications, protecting wiring harnesses from water and chemical exposure and preventing leakage from pipes. Threads in pipes are sealed, preventing loosening over time. Wires and pipe threads are also protected from heat, corrosion, mould, and dirt.

These adhesives also offer insulation for wires, preventing short circuits and improving reliability of machinery. A range of adhesives are available depending on the specific parameters of your application.

Adhesives have much to offer HVAC manufacturers in terms of improving product quality and streamlining manufacturing processes.

There are many applications for adhesives within HVAC units, everything from sealing ductwork, affixing components securely for minimising vibration and noise, and creating removable perimeters for maintenance operations.

The superior water and airproofing sealing of seams results in minimal energy loss, improved overall efficiency of the unit, and lower maintenance and running costs for consumers.

Adhesives enable superior product performance and durability along with improved appearance which creates a higher value product whilst simultaneously offering a number of ways to reduce manufacturing costs. Adhesives replace the need for mechanical fixings and welding, reduce inventories, and can be automated to speed up production, resulting in more efficient manufacturing and lower production costs.

High performance adhesives and sealants are a must for refrigeration equipment manufacture.

The versatility of modern adhesives and sealants is a great bonus to those in the refrigeration industry, with multifunction products providing both bonding and sealing in one product across a range of substrates.

Sealing in particular plays a crucial role in the efficiency and performance of the final product, an important factor in end user purchase decision making. Add to this the additional design flexibility provided by contemporary adhesives, and manufacturers can significantly improve value for the customer.

Adhesives improve product lifespan through reduction of corrosion and aid in bonding of housing, pad filling, and gap filling which help to reduce noise and vibration. They are effective over a wide temperature range and have flame retardant and low flammability properties.

In manufacturing terms, they are simple to apply and can in many cases be automated. The use of mechanical fixings and welding can be minimised, leading to a number of cost savings and streamlining of the production process.

Security doors require high performance adhesives that provide a very strong yet flexible bond between a range of substrates whilst also sealing the indoors from the elements.

They must be compliant with EU regulations relating to resistance against forced entry at the same time as providing UV, temperature, and weatherproofing. Adhesives for security doors offer all this and more, with simple application and fast, complete curing, which results in a professional aesthetic.
