Background

A Premier Garage Door Manufacturer With Adhesion Challenges

A leading garage door manufacturer, known for its sophisticated designs and premium products, was updating its paint system to improve durability and aesthetics. 

However, this new paint system created a challenge—their current adhesive products weren’t compatible with the updated paint formulation.

This posed a risk of production slowdowns and quality issues. The garage door manufacturer needed a trusted partner who could provide a reliable adhesive solution that seamlessly integrated with their new paint process. 

Seal Bond, with a strong reputation for customized adhesive and sealant solutions, was the perfect fit.

The Challenge

New Paint System & Complex Materials Require an Alternative Adhesive

The garage door manufacturer’s updated product line featured a mix of materials, including wood, metal, and glass. They needed an adhesive that could bond effectively to all these surfaces while being compatible with the new paint system. 

Additionally, the adhesive had to withstand various climates to meet warranty requirements, ensuring long-term durability and flexibility.

Our Solution

A Custom Adhesive Solution Engineered for Strength, Flexibility & Efficiency

Seal Bond conducted extensive adhesion testing on the manufacturer’s substrates to identify the ideal adhesive formulation. After rigorous evaluations, we determined that creating a custom assembly adhesive would be the best fit. 

Our state-of-the-art custom adhesive offered rapid strength development, exceptional bonding capability, and maintained flexibility even in temperatures as low as 13º F.

Beyond providing an adhesive, we collaborated with the manufacturer’s teams—including purchasing, manufacturing, design and engineering, and maintenance—to develop a specialized application method. This approach ensured precise adhesive application, increased throughput, and optimized their production process.
