JOME is an adhesive manufacturer and adhesive supplier producing industrial adhesives in its own factory. For a machine assembly or maintenance enquiry, send the joint details and operating conditions before choosing a material.
Match the adhesive to the machine component
A machinery adhesive manufacturer needs more than the name of the equipment. Does the joint hold a bearing, seal a cover or secure a bracket? Start with its function, then explain the surfaces, load and maintenance access. Different joints on the same machine may need different adhesive families.
- Threaded fasteners: consider anaerobic threadlocking for suitable metal threads. Include whether the fastener must be removed during servicing.
- Shafts, bushings and bearing housings: assess retaining compounds against the actual fit and surface condition. A worn seat needs dimensional assessment before adhesive selection.
- Frames, guards and access panels: consider structural bonding where the assembly design supports it, with stiffness, loading and coating adhesion evaluated together.
- Covers and enclosure flanges: select a sealing approach for the joint geometry, movement and exposure to oils, coolant or cleaning fluids.
- Control modules and sensors: consider encapsulation where protection is needed, while preserving connections, sensing areas and repair access.
- Threaded fluid fittings: distinguish sealing from locking. Check the fitting material, fluid exposure and assembly instructions before considering a thread sealant.
For an adhesive manufacturer, a machined surface and a painted surface are different bonding conditions even when the underlying metal is identical. Include plating, paint, surface roughness and the proposed cleaning process in your brief. For maintenance work, describe the condition of the existing bond or seal as well.
Choose between retention, structural bonding and sealing
Your adhesive manufacturer should first separate close-fitting metal joints from open seams and bonded panels. Review structural adhesives for a designed load-transfer joint, and sealants for a sealing duty. Neither category name establishes suitability for the particular machine.
| Material family | What to assess |
|---|---|
| Anaerobic adhesive | Metal surface activity, confinement, joint clearance and the required dismantling method for locking, retaining or sealing duties. |
| Epoxy | Cured stiffness, loading, gap geometry and cure conditions when considering structural bonding or encapsulation. |
| Silicone | Adhesion, movement and compatibility when considering a flexible seal or electronics encapsulation. |
| Polyurethane (PU) | The selected formulation’s flexibility, fluid exposure and handling requirements on the actual assembly. |
| Hybrid adhesive or sealant | Whether the formulation suits the substrates, joint movement, cure access and any required finishing operation. |
Specify operating exposure and future maintenance
Ask an adhesive manufacturer to review the actual contact fluids, rather than a general request for oil resistance. Identify lubricants, coolant and cleaning products, including how they reach the joint. Evaluate adhesion and the assembly’s function after representative exposure. A satisfactory dry sample does not answer every service-condition question.
With an adhesive manufacturer, agree what happens when the machine needs repair. Some covers must open; some shaft joints are intended to stay assembled. Include available removal tools and the risk of damaging adjacent parts. Select for the planned maintenance procedure, and test that procedure on the trial assembly.
For an adhesive manufacturer, control electronics need a separate review of protection and repair access. If considering potting and encapsulating compounds, identify what can be embedded and what must stay clear. Check filling, cure effects and electrical function on a representative module before adopting the material.
Control the application process
Bring your adhesive manufacturer the manufacturing sequence or maintenance method. Access, cleaning and fixturing can change the result even when the adhesive stays the same. Record the process used for each trial so a successful sample can be compared with the later production assembly.
- Inspect the joint: verify the mating surfaces, fit and condition; separate repair of damaged parts from adhesive application.
- Prepare and dispense: follow compatible preparation instructions and control the deposit without contaminating bearings, passages or electrical contacts.
- Assemble and cure: maintain the required position and follow the formulation’s handling and cure instructions before loading the joint.
- Check in context: assess the bond or seal together with machine operation, fluid exposure and the intended dismantling procedure.
Request samples and discuss formulation requirements
Working with an adhesive manufacturer starts with the joint requirements. JOME offers free samples and a technical data sheet (TDS). Send a drawing or photos, substrate details, assembly method and operating conditions. Use the material information to prepare a sample trial that represents the intended equipment application.
An adhesive manufacturer needs specific feedback to discuss a custom formulation. Explain whether the concern is dispensing behaviour, cured stiffness, adhesion to a coating or access for maintenance. Record the surface preparation and failure location. These details make the next discussion more useful than simply asking for a stronger or faster adhesive.
Send your joint details to an adhesive manufacturer
Choose an adhesive manufacturer around a defined machine joint and a repeatable application process. Share the requirements with JOME, review candidate material information and assess samples on the actual parts before moving to production or adopting a maintenance procedure.
