Adhesive Application
What does adhesive application mean?
Adhesive application refers to the controlled application of adhesives to substrate surfaces using various application methods. Precise application is crucial for bonding quality and includes proper dosing, distribution, and positioning of the adhesive before joining.
Application methods
- Manual application: Hand dispensers and cartridges for small series
- Pneumatic dispensing: Compressed air systems for medium volumes
- Volumetric dispensing: Precise volume delivery for series production
- Jet dispensing: Contact-free dispensing for highest precision
- Time-pressure dispensing: Cost-efficient dispensing with control units
Factors for successful application
- Surface preparation: Cleaning and activation of substrates if necessary
- Adhesive temperature: Optimal viscosity for uniform application
- Application speed: Adapted to pot life and flow behavior
- Layer thickness: Defined adhesive amount for optimal strengths
- Environmental conditions: Consider temperature and humidity
Quality control
- Visual inspection of adhesive distribution
- Weight control of applied amount
- Inline monitoring for automated processes
- Curing monitoring for process reliability
