In the industry, there are many myths about bonding:
- If a joint fails, it's the adhesive's fault.
- If a surface looks clean, it must be ready.
- A final inspection is sufficient to identify adhesion issues.
The truth?
Industry experts agree that about 90% of adhesion problems are not due to the adhesive; but arise from surface conditions such as invisible contaminants, incomplete preparation, or process fluctuations.
If adhesion problems are detected during final inspections, it is already too late. The real solution lies in checking the surfaces before bonding – to avoid errors and costly rework and to ensure product quality.
That's why Innotech and Brighton Science support companies in identifying these hidden problems early. We increase confidence in your processes and ensure that every connection is durable. Specifically, this is achieved, for example, through process-accompanying edge angle measurement with BConnect, allowing you to keep an eye on your limits (acceptable / not acceptable) at all times.
Our Brighton Science experts Dr. Maximilian Krötz and Florian Deuser will be at the parts2clean trade fair on 09.10. Feel free to talk to them about surface analysis, or schedule an appointment with them at the fair now!
