Adhesives Overview

Adhesives come in a nearly infinite number of chemistries and properties.  COG Engineering and our polymer manufacturers help you choose the right materials.  Our products are used in bonding medical devices, electronics, plastic housings, laminates, composites, metals, plastics and more.   Adhesive selection is critical to your success.  We will help you consider viscosity, substrates, adhesion, hardness, flexibility, thixotropy, Tg and other critical material properties.

Standard Products

Standard adhesives are the best place to start.  Selecting from several families of materials we can provide USP Class VI medical grade UV curable acrylics and epoxies, PVAs, urethanes, and epoxies.  Our standard products and the legacy of their use allow you to evaluate materials that were designed for applications just like yours.

Custom Products

When our standard adhesives are

close to perfect but not quite what you need, our suppliers can modify and develop the materials you need.  Whether you need improved adhesion, color changes, a higher Tg, our labs have the capability, experience and flexibility to provide materials for test and production.
