Integrated Assemblies - by bonding the rubber material directly to the substrate material the number of components is reduced for our customer simplifying their supply chain and downstream assembly processes.
Durable Bonds - Datwyler's rubber to metal bonding processes are engineered at the polymer and substrate level to create robust adhesion, in many cases the bond between the substrate and the elastomer is stronger than the physical properties of the elastomer.
Unique Possibilities in Design - by bonding or overmolding the rubber to the substrate, unique product designs are possible that would be difficult or impractical to otherwise replicate. In many cases, these unique designs can support new technologies or streamline designs for our customers.
Datwyler has developed a proprietary post-vulcanization (PV) bonding technology for applications where the substrate metals are very complex, large, or the component designs do not allow for in-mold bonding. Please contact us to discuss if the Datwyler PV bonding process is right for your application.
