Conveyor Belt Bonding Solutions
Supporting the Belting Industry with Proven Adhesive Expertise
Conveyor belt manufacturing and maintenance require reliable bonding solutions that work across a range of materials and operating conditions. At H.B. Fuller, we provide adhesive technologies designed for applications such as rubber-to-rubber bonding, rubber-to-metal bonding, and steel priming. Our solutions are part of a broad portfolio that supports the belting industry, from initial belt production to on-site repairs and steel lining work.
Typical Applications
Our adhesives are suitable for a variety of conveyor belt and related uses, including:
- Belt splicing and joining during manufacturing
- Bonding cured or uncured rubber materials
- Attaching rubber to primed steel components
- Steel roller lining
- Tank and pipelining in abrasive or high-impact environments
Example: LA7337BLK Two-Component Adhesive
The LA7337BLK adhesive system is designed for installing cured or uncured rubber to itself or onto primed steel. When paired with PC4426BKMOD primer, it can be used in:
- Conveyor belt assembly and repair
- Abrasive slurry pipe linings
- Impact-resistant bonding projects
- Tank liners
Key characteristics:
- Two-component (2K) adhesive
- Room temperature curing
- Compatible with metals and steel substrates
- Polychloroprene based formulation
Preparing for the Bond
For best results, surface preparation is essential. Depending on the substrate, this may involve buffing, cleaning with suitable solvents, or priming in accordance with the relevant technical data sheet. Always follow product instructions for mixing ratios, pot life, and handling times.
A Full Range for the Belting Industry
In addition to LA7337BLK, H.B. Fuller offers primers, adhesives, thinners, and cleaners developed for the specific needs of conveyor belt and steel lining applications. These options support processes such as:
- Manufacturing synthetic conveyor and transmission belts
- Preparing polyurethane, PVC, and rubber surfaces
- Cleaning and thinning without toluene or chlorinated hydrocarbons
CILBOND™ Bonding Agents
H.B. Fuller’s range of CILBOND™ bonding agents create strong chemical bonds between rubber, polyurethane, and various substrates during molding and casting, making them an ideal choice for the belting industry.
From reinforced belting to rubber-covered pulleys, reliable conveyor performance starts with a strong bond. CILBOND bonding agents chemically bond rubber and polyurethane to fabric, steel, and other substrates during manufacturing, molding, and casting.
CILBOND technologies can be used across conveyor applications, including:
- Rubber-to-fabric bonding in reinforced conveyor belts
- Rubber-to-metal bonding for pulleys, drums, and rollers
- Pulley lagging and traction components
- Polyurethane rollers, wheels, and wear-resistant parts
- Select rubber-to-rubber splicing and repair processes
Designed to withstand abrasion, impact, moisture, chemicals, temperature cycling, and repeated flexing, CILBOND™ helps reduce the risk of delamination and premature component failure in mining, aggregate, cement, steel, and bulk-material handling operations.
With decades of experience in the belting industry, our team understands the technical requirements of belt manufacturing, repair, and lining applications. We work alongside customers to match adhesives to their specific needs and operating conditions.
