Characteristics
Adhesives and sealants are composed of non-metallic substances that bond to the surface of the substrates to be bonded or sealed and that also possess enough inherent strength themselves. These products are characterised by their liquid or thixotropic state during application and the chemical or physical reaction that follows their application.
The reaction occurs due to the drainage of moisture or solvents, as a result of a reaction with moisture from the ambient air or mixing of two components. There are many types of adhesives and sealants with specific characteristics and applications on the market.
Due to the great diversity in chemical composition, application method and reaction to the application, the bonding and sealing technology can be seamlessly geared to specific types of material, relevant standards for use and production possibilities.
A special product group in Simsons range is the Silyl Modified Polymer (SMP) technology. This technology combines the stable strength of polyurethane and the unparalleled weather resistance of silicones. As global market leader, Simson develops a wide product range of SMP adhesives and sealants that perfectly match the wishes and requirements of highly demanding industries.
Functions
Adhesives fulfil a great variety of functions. They can be used for structural or non-structural bonding and the bond itself can also have a conductive or insulating function (electrical or thermal). In addition, adhesives can be used for protection and sealing, anti-slip solutions and securing of mechanical joints in order to prevent screw and nut connections from coming undone due to vibrations.
Simson markets a wide range of adhesive technologies. As a result, Simson is one of the leading partners in many different industries. The knowledge and expertise obtained by Simson in specific industries becomes available in other industries around the world where challenges ask for expert solutions.
