Polychloroprene Contact Adhesives

Contact adhesives based on polychloroprene exhibit performance advantages over alternative adhesive systems in a wide variety of related applications where quick, high-strength, permanent bonds are needed. A significant advantage of contact adhesives is auto-adhesion, which results in an instant bond with sufficient green strength so that fixturing is unnecessary. 

Contact adhesives can also be formulated to provide a long open time before the adhesive-coated substrates are combined. This enables assembly operations to pre-coat or stage the preparation of substrates prior to bonding.
