Adhesive bonding is very common in manufacturing. You can find it in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, and food packaging. Manufacturers use it to join all types of surfaces and dissimilar materials, including metals, ceramics, glass, plastics, rubbers, and composites.
Adhesives bond dissimilar and hard to bond materials
Adhesives and tapes provide a barrier to reduce or prevent bimetallic corrosion that often occurs between different types of metal. Adhesives can bond hard to bond materials such as low surface energy plastics, oily metal and silicone rubber.
