Glass Bonding Adhesives
How to bond glass strongly and clearly — to glass, metal and other materials — with UV and structural adhesives.
For bonding glass, UV curing adhesives give clear, fast glass-to-glass bonds; epoxy bonds glass to metal; and silicone provides flexible, weatherproof seals. Clean the glass thoroughly and provide a light path for UV cure.
Glass bonding needs adhesives that are strong, durable and often optically clear. UV curing adhesives are ideal for fast, invisible bonds, while structural and silicone adhesives handle bonding glass to other materials.
JOME supplies UV, epoxy and silicone adhesives for glass furniture, optics, displays and electronic assemblies.
- Clean glass thoroughly before bonding
- Use UV adhesive for clear bonds
- Provide a light path for UV cure
- Use epoxy for glass-to-metal
- Use silicone for flexible seals
- Protect bonds from peel stress
- Consider UV stability outdoors
- Test optical clarity needs
UV curing adhesives are best for clear, fast glass-to-glass bonds. For glass-to-metal use epoxy; for flexible, weatherproof seals use silicone.
Use a structural epoxy or a UV adhesive designed for dissimilar materials. Clean both surfaces well and consider thermal expansion differences.
Silicone and many UV and epoxy adhesives form water-resistant bonds suitable for wet and outdoor glass applications.
