Why Replace an Entire Pipe When the Damage Is Localized?
For decades, utilities have faced a frustrating limitation: many damaged polymer pipes—and even steel pipes operating in difficult environments—cannot be repaired reliably with conventional adhesives or composite wraps. Tech‑Bond developed a different approach. Our patented Polymer Bonding Process™ and Tech‑Patch Repair System™ are designed to create an integrated repair with the underlying pipe or tank […]
Bonding/Repairing Silicone Rubber | Succeeding where others fail
Founder’s messge The first three years of this decade-long journey were devoted to testing. We worked with every polymer we could get our hands on—thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers—to determine whether our bonding process could overcome the limitations of conventional adhesives. Every attempt succeeded, and every result revealed a practical application. Some materials bonded more easily […]
Molecular bonding vs glues and epoxies
Molecular Integration (MI™) vs Glues and Epoxies: Why the Tech-Bond System Outperforms Traditional Joins While Tech-Bond’s Polymer Bonding Process has long proven effective across a wide range of polymer and metal substrates, our team has now identified a key breakthrough, Molecular Integration (MI™) in bonding non-polymer surfaces, specifically glass, alloy steels, and stainless steel. The […]
Introducing the Polymer Bonding Process: How It Works and Why It Matters
Real-World Application: TPRS and Tech Wraps The Process powers the Tech Patch Repair System (TPRS) and Tech Wraps—used globally for sealing everything from leaking poly tanks to high-pressure steel pipelines. Unlike epoxy-based solutions or fiberglass wraps, TPRS is faster to apply, requires less surface prep, and creates a true bond, not just adhesion. The patch […]
