How Seal Bond Solved Paint Compatibility & Production Delays for a Leading Trailer Manufacturer

Background

This prominent livestock trailer manufacturer is known for producing high-quality, durable trailers across various applications, including horse, stock, utility, and cargo transport. 

Known for innovation and commitment to excellence, this company consistently pushes the envelope, delivering trailers that prioritize performance, safety, and long-term value for their customers.

Each trailer is meticulously engineered to enhance the safety and comfort of transported livestock and goods. The company's focus on quality and attention to detail set it apart in a competitive market.

When the manufacturer encountered a challenge that affected production efficiency and product quality, they immediately took action. They needed a trustworthy partner to help them uphold their superior standards. 

Seal Bond’s reputation for tailored adhesive and sealant solutions made us a natural choice to support their unique requirements.

The Challenge

Paint Compatibility & Production Delays

The trailer manufacturer had a recurring issue with paint adhesion on the seams, and their current sealant failed. 

The paint wasn’t bonding effectively, leading to quality concerns. It also caused costly production delays, as workers were forced to wait for the sealant to cure fully before applying paint. 

This challenge impacted their production timeline and raised concerns about the quality and durability of their trailers. They needed a solution that would seamlessly integrate into their production process while upholding their high standards for reliability and performance.

Our Solution

A Superior Sealant for Enhanced Paint Compatibility

We thoroughly analyzed the manufacturer’s current sealant and identified why it fell short in paint adhesion and cure time. 

After an in-depth review, we determined that our Seal Bond® 114, a multi-purpose, paintable, fast-curing one-component sealant, would be the ideal match for their needs.

We sent samples to the manufacturer for evaluation and in-field trials to ensure we chose the best solution.

We were thrilled with the results: Seal Bond® 114 performed even better than their previous sealant. It also provided significantly improved paint adhesion. The faster curing time minimized production delays, allowing the manufacturer to maintain efficiency without compromising quality.
