Join engineer Elena on an inspiring industrial journey as she tackles the notorious challenge of adhesive clogging and uneven dispensing. Discover how Bostik's revolutionary volumetric dispensing technology and FFKM-coated stator transform intricate manufacturing into a masterpiece of smooth precision.
BOSTIK VOLUMETRIC DISPENSING 1K CYANOACRYLATES by Carles Oriol, Patxi Garra, Eva Pérez - 2026 The challenge of cyanoacrylate dispensing has long been a complex issue within the industry, including the application of single-component adhesives as well as dual-component adhesives. In the context of 1K CA adhesives, there is a wide range of available dispensing technologies and choosing one or another will be crucial for success in each case study. Several systems have been proved useful and robust for regular industrial use: peristaltic pumps, time-pressure, etc. However, in the most demanding applications – those requiring extreme precision and repeatability – the preferred option is to rely on volumetric systems such as progressive cavity pumps. While other technologies have shown only moderate precision in these cases, volumetric technology provides excellent accuracy control and consistency. At Bostik, our extensive research has led us to certify the a system as the premier choice to attain the finest precision. The initial key to this breakthrough has been the use of a stator part coated with FFKM elastomer, which ensures smooth operation of the system without clogging. Besides, the pump technology is not the only factor to keep in mind. The robots, the tips, the packaging of adhesives, the maintenance routines, the understanding of the limitations and of course the best adhesives developed and validated for industrial dispensing will allow our customers to easily success and create great and amazing products using our incredible BOSTIK ADHESIVES
