Solvent-Based Adhesives

Overview

Maximum performance on difficult substrates.

Solvent-based adhesives deliver the strongest bonds Spartan manufactures. Used where water-based and hot-melt chemistries can't meet the spec — outdoor service, fuel and oil exposure, broad temperature ranges (-70°F to 300°F), or substrates that resist surface wetting.

Our line includes neoprene cements for general industrial assembly, synthetic-elastomer cements for foam and rubber, and acrylic PSAs with FDA approval for skin-contact applications. We also formulate low-VOC alternatives where regulations require them.

Typical Applications

The bonds water-based can't make.

Foam Fabrication

SBR closed-cell foam, polyurethane foam, and rubber-to-rubber assembly with full chemical and oil resistance.

Automotive Trim & Interior

Vinyl, cloth, plastics, and headliner assembly with heat and creep resistance.

Metal Bonding

Neoprene-based systems for metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate bonds with outstanding peel and shear.

Life Preservers & Marine

USCG-specification adhesive for unicellular plastic foam — adult and child PFDs.

Laminations

Paper, cloth, foil, plastics, PVC, and sponge foam laminations with plasticizer migration resistance.

Temporary Tattoos

FDA-approved, silk-screenable acrylic PSAs safe for skin contact.

Industrial Assembly

Cloth, paper, plastics, wood, and metal in environments with chemical or temperature stress.

Outdoor Applications

Bonds that hold from -70°F to 300°F and resist UV, water, and chemical exposure.

Crosslinking Modifiers

Specialty isocyanate-functional crosslinkers for upgrading organic acid adhesive performance.
