More than 3x stronger
PowderBond is the strongest way to bond metal to polypropylene
PowderBond is so strong that the substrate gives up before the bond.
Our breakthrough process for bonding aluminium to plastic replaces traditional adhesives and has unrivalled bond strength. This structural bonding process is simple, quick and clean.
Superior Strength
The structural joints formed by PowderBond have exceptionally high lap shear and tensile bond strength.
Lap Shear Strength
ETS-01-005
>15 MPa (substrate failure)
Tensile Bond Strength
ISO 4624
>10 MPa
T-Peel Strength
ASTM D 1876 (10mm/min)
10 N/mm
“Our own research trials show that PowderBond enables a superior bonding strength up to 21,90 MPa between metal and glass fibre reinforced polypropylene.”
PowderBond in Action
The latest designs for electric vehicles are using PowderBond for aluminium to polypropylene bonding in battery base plates and vehicle chassis, in place of aluminium adhesives or polypropylene adhesives. Bonding engineering derives enormous benefits from PowderBond.
“PowderBond is an essential component of Stalcom Lightweight Laminate which we use to construct EV battery plates.”
About our company
-
Our highly skilled technical team
We have a high level of expertise in bonding technologies, developed through our commercial work and R&D programmes. We tackled the well-known polypropylene-to-metal bonding issues head-on, aiming to eliminate laborious adhesive bonding methods and disappointingly weak bond strengths. The result was PowderBond.

Our commitment to sustainability
The PowderBond process does not involve harmful VOCs or chrome-based materials and waste is minimal and non-hazardous. At vehicle end-of-life, PowderBond can be removed allowing the metal and plastic to be separately recycled.
