Rubber to Metal Bonding

Rubber to metal bonding involves the proper surface preparation of the metal. The first step is to remove any oils or other contaminants from the surface of the metal that could inhibit the bonding process. The metal is then grit blasted or acid etched to create the proper anchor pattern for the adhesive layer to grab onto. The metal is coated with the proper adhesive system to asssure the rubber compound which meets the engineered needs of your part will properly adhere when compression molded. Once the part is molded, the excess rubber is trimmed from the part, the metal is cleaned and packaged to your specifications and shipped to you on time.
