CILBOND®

CILBOND high-performance one-coat bonding agents are designed to chemically bond rubber and polyurethane elastomers during the molding and casting processes to a variety of substrates. The bonds CILBOND creates allow engineers to combine the different properties of rubber, urethane, plastic, metal and fabric to develop industrial components with benefits that outweigh the sum of their parts. These benefits include flexibility, strength, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, cost and weight—all features critical to the industries that we serve. Our products are at the forefront of technology for performance, versatility and the environment.

Rubber-to-metal bonding

Rubber-to-metal bonding is used within the industry to isolate vibration, reduce shock or to provide a seal for liquids, solids or gases, in potentially demanding environments. With CILBOND, it is possible to achieve an engineering bond capable of surviving an extreme environmental attack from chemicals, temperature variations, dynamic stresses and fatigue. With a product for every compound type and every molding technique (including injection, compression, transfer and even post-vulcanization), the CILBOND products provide the rubber industry with the ultimate combination of performance and versatility.

Polyurethane-to-substrate bonding

The superior properties of polyurethane (PUR) systems mean they are the material of choice for engineers looking for the ultimate performance from an elastomer. The CILBOND range of PUR to substrate bonding agents provide the ultimate in bond strength, with 100 percent PUR tear achievable while under the toughest environmental conditions. With high-performance products available for hot-and cold-curing castable systems and even injection-molded TPUs, we have established ourselves as a global market leader in PUR bonding.

Friction bonding

With temperatures ranging from sub-zero to 750 degrees Celsius in seconds, few environments are tougher than those experienced by the brake pad. Bonded pads must also withstand contact with oils, fuels, and corrosion from salt-spray salinity attack. Supplied to global manufacturers of Original Equipment and Aftermarket brake pads, H.B. Fuller Engineering Adhesives has a range of water-based products that both exceed the standards required by the automotive industry and out-perform the markets’ solvent-based equivalents.
