Markets

Construction
Structural glazing: bond glass panels to curtain wall and commercial windows

Architectural cladding: fabricate and attach interior and exterior panels

Stiffener to panel: attach stiffeners prior to liquid paint or powder coat process
Metal Fabrication
Plastic bonding: provide increased solvent and moisture resistance

Finishing: withstand high-temperature bake cycles for powder coating or paint processes

General purpose bonding: eliminate drilling, grinding, refinishing, screwing and welding
Transportation
Electronic displays: achieve superior moisture and heat resistance with viscoelastic tapes

Panel to frame: fasten doors and roofing attachments to body with strong adhesion

Automotive: attach decorative trim by distributing bonding stress along the length of bond
Signage
Logos/nameplates: increase drop resistance when attaching plastic signs to glass surfaces

LCD signage: bond and seal polycarbonate lens over LCD with chemical resistant tapes

Electronic signage: provide a permanent seal against water, moisture and weathering
