Structural bonding

Maximum stability and unrivalled strength - that is the strength of structural bonding! Our advanced bonding techniques ensure joints that remain reliable even under extreme conditions. Find out more about the materials and processes that make this exceptional durability possible.

Structural bonding materials

PSA Haftklebstoff

PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive)

PSA is often used in the form of double-sided adhesive tape. The type of PSA we use is characterised by its high flexibility and is therefore ideal for bonding heterogeneous parts. This adhesive is particularly popular for structural bonding, such as the joining of TFTs and cover glass (air bonding).

MS-Polymer

MS polymer

MS polymer is a special structural adhesive based on polyurethanes with silane functionalisation. These modified silanes offer greater elasticity, which means that long-term stable and dense adhesive bonds can be realised. The adhesive is dispensed as a liquid and can be processed both manually and automatically.

Hot Melt

Hot melt

Hot melt is a structural adhesive based on a thermoplastic. It is dispensed in a hot, liquid state and processed immediately, which enables rapid curing and therefore ensures short cycle times.

Structural bonding processes

Plasma

Plasma

The plasma process is used to clean and activate plastic surfaces. The use of plasma prepares the surface so that the adhesion of the adhesive is improved.

Air Bonding

Manual / Air bonding

Air bonding describes the bonding of display and cover glass, often using double-sided adhesive tape. The process can be manual or automated, whereby the adhesive is usually dispensed automatically, while the bonding is carried out manually or semi-automatically.

(Semi-)Automatische Verklebung

(Semi-)automatic bonding

(Semi-)automatic bonding includes the automatic dosing of structural adhesives and the option of carrying out the joining process partially or fully automatically

Hybrid Structural Bonding

Hybrid Structural Bonding

Hybrid structural bonding combines several structural adhesives to combine the advantages of fast curing and high long-term stability.

Advantages of structural bonding compared to other joining processes

Uniform stress distribution

Unlike screws or rivets, for example, structural bonding allows the force to be transmitted evenly over a relatively large area. This means that components do not have to be oversized due to point loads, which saves material and therefore costs and weight. 

Gleichmäßige SPannungsverteilung

Aesthetics

Structural adhesive joints can be designed in such a way that the joint is invisible from the outside. This is a significant advantage over conventional joining techniques such as screwing or riveting, where the chosen joining method remains visible without further post-processing.

Ästhetik

Long-term stability

With structural bonding, the joining components are not pre-damaged by, for example, drilling (e.g. when screwing) or heat (e.g. when welding), which can increase the durability of the assembly.

Langzeitstabilität

Additional functions

Additional functions of the joint can be realised by selecting the right structural adhesive or designing the bonded joint appropriately. These include, for example, tightness (without the need for an additional sealing element such as a rubber seal), vibration damping or the equalisation of mechanical stresses in a heterogeneous joint or thermal or electrical insulation.

Aesthetic advantage of invisible adhesive joints over visible screws or rivets.

Long-term stability

No pre-damage through drilling or welding increases the durability of the assembly.
