Advanced Polymer Adhesives

Standard adhesives sit on top of a surface and rely on mechanical grip. Tech-Bond's Polymer Bonding Process creates cross-links at the molecular level between the substrate surfaces, resulting in a permanent bond that is structurally integrated with the material rather than just adhered to it — making it significantly stronger and more durable than gluing.

SI Blue (thin-medium) is the standard option for general bonding tasks. SI Black (thick) provides greater control for precision, overhead, or detailed applications. SI Green (ultra-thin) is specifically designed for penetrating and repairing hairline cracks. The right choice depends on gap size, substrate, and application environment.

Yes, for low surface energy polymers such as PTFE, HDPE, nylon, silicone rubber, and polypropylene, Poly Prep is an essential pre-treatment step. It etches the polymer surface to create the correct texture for adhesion. Skipping this step on difficult substrates will significantly reduce bond strength and durability.

Tech-Bond bonding agents and kits have an extended shelf life when stored in a refrigerator. Before use, bring the product back to room temperature. Poly Prep, a solvent-based formula, should be stored in a cool, dry place. Proper storage ensures the products retain full bonding performance across their usable life.

Yes. Tech-Bond's Debonder is a precision-grade solvent designed to dissolve and remove cured bonding agents from surfaces, tools, and skin. For complete joint separation, immersing the bonded assembly in acetone may be required and can take a day or more. The Professional Kit includes a Debonder for full bonding lifecycle control.

Absolutely. Tech-Bond products are available in bulk sizes — Poly Prep up to 5 gallons, kits in multi-unit configurations, and Debonder in 10-packs — with volume pricing available. Products have been proven in demanding industrial field environments including a successful repair of a 78-inch HDPE pipe for Borouge in Abu Dhabi.
