Adhesive & Sealants

An adhesive is used particularly for its ability to bond two surfaces together for an indefinite length of time and varying amounts of stress. Adhesives have strong shear and tensile strength, making them viable bonding materials for high-pressure situations.

A sealant is generally lower in strength compared to an adhesive and is also used for a different purpose. Sealants are often used to fill gaps and resist relative movement of the surfaces to which they are applied.

In the industrial world, these materials are often applied using adhesive dispensing systems, involving a dispensing machine. Industrial dispensing solutions and cartridge dispensing create a more accurate and efficient applicating process that doesn’t fatigue the applier.
