The Science Behind Flexible Glue and Its Applications

Nov 19, 2024

Flexible glue also goes by the name rubber-based glue. This type of adhesive has numerous applications from office supplies to construction industries. Materials can be glued together while still being able to move or be flexible with the help of a flexible glue. In this article, we explain the science behind flexible glue and describe its several uses especially those that LIN SEN has to offer.

What Is Flexible Glue?

A FIBERGLASS STRAND SUCH as silicone rubber adhesive or polymer glue features a low viscosity that cures into a tightly bonded flexible joint. Because of this feature, glued areas can move or bend without distorting the glue itself, thus allowing for greater range of movement for those which are glued. LIN SEN has created superb flexible glue to manufacture wirebands from consoles and helps to endure immense pressure on the wires.

What Is The Chemistry Of Bonding Molecules?

Two materials or surfaces are glued together by an adhesive during the bonding process referred to as adhesion. When rubber-based silicone is used, it polymerizes and forms a layer of strong and elastic bonds that head to the glued surface. The best part, as this bond is elastic, the surface is able to expand and contract without breaking the bond.

Uses of Flexible Adhesive

Wireband Bonding
Wireband uses flexible glue in the joining of individual wires to form a unit. In this regard, use of LIN SEN's flexible glue means that the wireband bonded by glue will not come apart during it usage.

Office supplies
In an office for example, flexible glue is used in papers sewing, putting of tags and other activities which may require application of glue. Because such bonding allows joining of the parts with some loading without breaking or peeling of the glue, documents can be manipulated freely.

Industrial Manufacturing
In industrial glue applications where there is a need to join the components and restrain their relative movement but allow for limited motion between the bonded components, flexible glue will suffice. LIN SEN's flexible glue can work on ITALPUNTI and PREBENA machines making it applicable for a large scale automated assembly line.

Conclusion

Factory application processes are known to use a wide variety of bonding equipment, such as flexible glue, for bonding purposes. Flexible Glue is one of the Glues products that have come into the market. LIN-SEN is actively working on developing Work Glue products.   Depending on your adhesive requirements, it can effectively bind wirebands and documents, making LIN SEN one of the most reliable manufacturers.
