Industrial Adhesive Manufacturers Provide Formulas to Fit Your Needs

Our industrial adhesives include these types of adhesives: water based adhesive, urethane adhesive, neoprene adhesive, pressure sensitive adhesive. We also provide industrial glue, sealants and coatings. Whatever solution your adhesive needs to solve, we have you covered.

Need Better Moisture Resistance? Try Our Water Based Adhesive

Our formula for a water based adhesive has improved moisture resistance compared to adhesives that are directly soluble in water. This type of adhesive is perishable, however, and extended storage is not possible.

Create an Elastic Flexible Bond with a Urethane Adhesive

A urethane adhesive creates an elastic, flexible bond with is durable, and impact resistant. This adhesive hardens quickly.  A downside of these industrial adhesives, however, is that they require moisture to work. Working in low-humidity environments, might mean choosing a different option.

Mid-West Industrial Chemical: Your Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Manufacturer

If your need an adhesive that’s going to respond to pressure then you should choose a pressure sensitive adhesive. This type of adhesive does not solidify and often remains tacky or viscous. It also doesn’t perform well when not at room temperature.

Create a Strong Bond With a Neoprene Adhesive

A neoprene adhesive is one of a number of contact adhesives which are used to create strong bonds with high shear-resistance. Because of its natural ability to bond, you don’t have to apply pressure for a very long time before this industrial glue creates a strong bond.
