In modern product assembly, performance starts at the bond line.

Mechanical fixings create stress concentrations and add complexity, and welding is often unsuitable for mixed material assemblies and sensitive components. 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 uniform load distribution, environmental resistance and a clean and finished look.

We are trusted by leading assemblers and manufacturers 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.

SCIGRIP products solve challenges

Structural Integrity

Excellent for bonding metals, plastics and composites across a wide range of assemblies. High strength bonds capable of carrying static and dynamic loads while uniformly distributing stress across the bond area, eliminating the weak points created by mechanical fasteners, rivets and welds.

Production Efficiency

Faster assembly times with curing profiles that align with production requirements. One adhesive for multiple substrates reduces changeover during assembly, while precision bonding minimises waste and rework. The ability to bond dissimilar materials with minimal surface preparation significantly reduces assembly cycle time.

Excellent Environmental and Chemical Resistance

Bond strength maintained after extended exposure to harsh environmental conditions including temperature extremes, vibration and chemical exposure, ensuring long-term joint integrity across the full range of product assembly applications.

Design Freedom

Large range of working times to suit everything from small precision components to large assemblies. Eliminate mechanical fasteners for a cleaner, seamless aesthetic finish, bond dissimilar materials with different expansion coefficients, and achieve vibration dampening properties that maintain joint integrity over the product lifetime.
