Metal Bonding Adhesives
How to bond metal to metal and metal to other materials with strong, durable structural adhesives.
Bond Metals Without Welding
Structural adhesives bond metals strongly while distributing stress, sealing joints and avoiding the heat distortion of welding. With proper surface preparation, epoxy adhesives can exceed the strength of the metal itself.
JOME supplies two-part and structural epoxy adhesives, plus anaerobic retaining compounds, for metal bonding and assembly.

Metal Bonding Tips
- Clean and degrease surfaces
- Abrade for better adhesion
- Choose epoxy for structural strength
- Use anaerobics for cylindrical fits
- Control bond-line thickness
- Consider thermal expansion of metals
- Allow full cure before loading
- Seal joints against corrosion
Frequently Asked Questions
Two-part structural epoxy is the best general choice for strong, durable metal bonds. For cylindrical assemblies and fasteners, anaerobic retaining and threadlocking compounds are ideal.
Yes. Epoxy adhesives bond metal to many plastics and composites; for low-energy plastics, surface treatment or a specialised grade improves adhesion.
A correctly designed structural epoxy joint can match or exceed weld strength while spreading stress, sealing the joint and avoiding heat distortion.
