Production & customisation
Adhesive formulations developed around the application.
The Glue Company supports tailored adhesive development for customers whose materials, machinery or performance requirements are not fully addressed by a standard grade.
Inputs to customisation
Formulation work can address the variables that affect production.
- 01
Materials and surface finish
The materials to be bonded and the surface treatment or finish in view.
- 02
Application method and equipment
How adhesive is applied, including the equipment and operating approach.
- 03
Line conditions
Line speed, operating temperature and the drying or cooling window where relevant.
- 04
Finished-product handling
Required bond strength, setting behaviour, finished-use conditions, packaging and supply expectations.
Development path
From application requirement to production-ready grade.
- Share representative materials, process details and required outcomes.
- Review an existing grade or develop a formulation for evaluation.
- Use laboratory testing and application trials where applicable.
- Transfer approved parameters into controlled production.
Production models
In-house and contract-manufacturing options.
The company supports direct manufacture of its product portfolio as well as OEM and contract-manufacturing requirements. The appropriate model depends on formulation ownership, batch volume, packaging and supply expectations.
What to provide
Materials to be bonded, surface treatment, application equipment, line speed, operating temperature, desired setting window, finished-use conditions, current adhesive grade where applicable, expected monthly volume and preferred packaging.
