Proven in Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing

We are trusted by leading agricultural OEM builders worldwide for bonding strength, industry-leading fatigue and impact resistance, minimal surface preparation, lightweight durability, and flexibility for a wide range of interior and exterior applications.

In modern agricultural machinery manufacturing, performance starts at the bond line.

Mechanical fixings add weight and complexity, and welding is often unsuitable for composite panels and mixed material assemblies.

SCIGRIP structural adhesives provide a seamless, reliable and aesthetically pleasing alternative. They utilise dissimilar material bonding, multiple working times, minimal surface preparation, impact resistant gap filling and provide reduced bondline readthrough, environmental resistance and a clean and finished look.

SCIGRIP products solve challenges

Structural Integrity

Excellent for bonding steel, aluminium, FRP and composite materials across chassis, grain tanks, roofing and floor panels. High strength bonds capable of carrying static and dynamic loads in the most demanding conditions.

Production Efficiency

Quicker fixture time allowing large assemblies such as cab structures, doors and roof panels to be bonded and moved earlier in the production process.

Excellent Environmental and Chemical Resistance

Bond strength maintained after extended exposure to harsh outdoor environments, vibration, impact and temperature extremes common in agricultural and construction applications.

Design Freedom

Large range of working times, bond dissimilar substrates without visible fasteners, no sag characteristics to fill gaps across large structures, and high temperature resistance for engine compartment applications.

Roof Bonding

Fibre-reinforced plastic or aluminium. Must transfer roof load evenly, eliminate stress concentrations
and seal watertight.

Long open time, large beads required due to size of assembly.

Door Bonding

Aluminium or FRP/GRP used
to deliver aesthetics, strength
and impact resistance.

Strong, weather-resistant bonds for panels subject to impact and vibration.

Trim Bonding

Composite materials for lower
weight, durability and aesthetics.

Requires strong bonding of dissimilar materials for small parts.

Grain Tank

Steel or aluminium used to
provide strength and durability
for load-bearing applications.

Requires exceptionally strong bonds for added stability and durability for large structures.

Chassis

Steel/aluminium providing strength
for load-bearing applications.

Exceptionally strong bonds for stability and durability of large structure.

Engine Compartment

Aluminium or FRP/GRP to
withstand high temperatures without adhesive failure.
