The Science of Materials: Rheology, Cure, Adhesion

Behind every LPTHC system is careful control of flow, cure kinetics, and surface interaction.

Key Concepts

  • Rheology drives sprayability, bead shape, and sag control
  • Cure profiles influence gloss, hardness, and chemical resistance
  • Surface energy and prep determine adhesion success

Deep Dive

Rheology

Balancing flow with sag resistance ensures even film build. We tune viscosity for spray, roll, dip, or automated dispense.

Cure Kinetics

Induction times, temperature, and humidity impact cure. Controlled profiles prevent solvent entrapment and gloss loss.

Adhesion Mechanisms

Surface prep, anchor profile, and primers build a foundation for long-term adhesion and corrosion resistance.

Testing & Validation

Adhesion, gloss, DFT, salt fog, and QUV testing confirm the science translates to real-world durability.

How We Apply This

  • Coatings: Rheology and cure control for smooth finishes and long life
  • Adhesives: Open time, clamp time, and strength balance for assembly lines
  • Sealants: Movement tolerance with controlled bead and tooling characteristics
