In industrial production and manufacturing, we often use silicone rubber and ABS materials, such as in personal care products, beauty instruments, health products, toys and gifts, lighting fixtures, electronic products, etc. So, how can we solve the bonding problems of silicone rubber to silicone rubber and silicone rubber to ABS materials encountered in the manufacturing scenarios of these products? Since the surface of silicone rubber is inert, many adhesives have no adhesive force on silicone rubber materials, resulting in bonding failures. Additionally, the use of plasticizers and release agents during the vulcanization process of silicone rubber products is also a reason for the failure of commonly used adhesives to bond silicone rubber. When choosing an adhesive, we also need to take into account factors such as product characteristics, testing requirements, glue application equipment, and the technological process. Regarding the above issues, Yantai Chemistry can provide comprehensive bonding solutions for bonding silicone rubber to silicone rubber and for bonding silicone rubber to ABS.

Recommended adhesive products of Yantai Chemistry for bonding silicone rubber to silicone rubber and for bonding silicone rubber to ABS:

MX-3197 is a neutral-curing, translucent silicone rubber product. It is non-corrosive to PC, metal materials, etc., and is easy to extrude, with a semi-flowing paste consistency.

MX-3191 has a micro-flowing paste consistency, and its bonding strength is greater than that of MX-3197.

MX-3141 is a transparent silicone rubber product. After vulcanization, the product becomes an elastomer. It has a slight corrosive effect on metals and has a semi-flowing paste consistency. It has good bonding performance for silicone rubber, glass, ceramics and some plastics. It is used for bonding silicone rubber to silicone rubber, silicone rubber to glass, silicone rubber to ceramics, and bonding of silicone rubber products, etc. It is applied to the bonding and sealing in industries such as beauty instruments, health products, power and electricity, food and medicine, lighting fixtures, and solar energy. It can be used for a long time within the temperature range of -45°C to 180°C and has excellent characteristics such as outstanding resistance to ultraviolet light, resistance to weather aging, and good electrical insulation performance. The product complies with the requirements of the EU RoHS and REACH Directives. MX-3143 has a micro-flowing paste consistency, and its bonding strength is greater than that of MX-3141.

MX-9336 is a low-viscosity, translucent silicone rubber product with good fluidity and can be applied using a syringe. It is used for bonding silicone rubber to silicone rubber, silicone rubber to ABS, silicone rubber to metal, silicone rubber to electroplated surfaces, etc. It is applied to the bonding and sealing of personal care products and beauty instruments, as well as the bonding and sealing of medical devices. Its performance is stable within the temperature range of -45°C to 180°C, and the product complies with the requirements of the EU RoHS and REACH Directives.

MX1422-20 Instant Adhesive is of medium viscosity, high strength, fast in bonding speed, and insensitive to surfaces. It is designed for product assembly that requires uniform stress distribution and strong tensile or shear strength. This product enables quick bonding of various materials, including metals, plastics, and elastomers. It is also suitable for bonding difficult-to-bond materials such as inert, porous, acidic, and absorbent materials. It is used for bonding silicone rubber to silicone rubber, silicone rubber to ABS, etc. It complies with the requirements of the EU RoHS and REACH Directives.

Of course, in many adhesive application scenarios for silicone rubber products, we need to stick 3M double-sided adhesive tape on the surface of the silicone rubber, and adhere the silicone rubber material to other components through the double-sided adhesive tape. Since silicone rubber is a non-polar surface material, a special treatment agent is required to assist in achieving excellent adhesive effects when sticking the double-sided adhesive tape. Yantai’s TS-7702 can be used to promote the adhesion of double-sided adhesive tapes (such as 3M tapes) to the surface of silicone rubber materials, to enhance the adhesion of double-sided adhesive tapes to the surface of the base material, to treat the sticking surface, to accelerate the adhesive emergence speed of the tape, and to improve the adhesive force.

TS-7706 can be used to promote the adhesion of double-sided adhesive tapes (such as 3M tapes) to the surface of EPDM, treat the sticking surface, accelerate the adhesive emergence speed of the tape, and improve the adhesive force. For example, when sticking double-sided adhesive tapes on EPDM rubber materials such as EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) foot pads, sealing strips, and special-shaped strips, it can also be used for sticking double-sided adhesive tapes on other common rubbers.

The above are adhesive application solutions for bonding silicone rubber to silicone rubber and bonding silicone rubber to ABS to meet the needs of different scenarios.
