How does Dymax Application Engineering help manufacturers get their bonding process right the first time?

At Dymax, we believe that supplying a high-performance light-curable adhesive or coating is just the beginning. What truly sets us apart is how closely our Application Engineering team collaborates with your engineers to support and refine the assembly process.

Why does Dymax take an integrated approach to assembly solutions?

In today’s high-tech manufacturing world, simply picking a “good” adhesive isn’t enough. You need a material, a dispense system, and a light-curing setup that are all matched to your component geometry, process flow, throughput targets, and validation requirements. Equally important, these elements must be engineered to work together as a coordinated system to ensure reliable performance and consistent results.

That’s where Dymax Application Engineers step in. Our team is keen on ensuring you have the ideal adhesive, paired with the most suitable dispensing and curing equipment for your specific application.

How does Dymax Application Engineering support your manufacturing process?

Some of the key services we provide with our customers include:

• Product and process design: collaborating early to select the right material/dispense/cure equipment. 
• Testing and evaluation: in our lab we’ll work with your actual components to run bonding, shear/tensile, thermal cycling, humidity aging, water absorption, and more.
• Pre-production trials: we’ll help align your manufacturing run-up with the material’s actual behavior so you can scale confidently.

What do customers gain by working with Dymax?

By partnering early with our AE team, manufacturers avoid common pitfalls such as:

• Selecting a material without full understanding of its cure in their geometry or under their light-source/fixture setup
• Overlooking hidden aging or environmental stresses (e.g., humidity, temperature cycling, water absorption) that may degrade performance over time
• Under-scaling the dispense / cure system – which may limit throughput or yield once the process is in full production

How is Dymax application engineering different from typical technical support?

• A “right-first-time” implementation of the adhesive + equipment systems
• A smoother transition from prototype to production, with fewer surprises
• Confidence that the bonding, curing and dispensing are validated not only for today’s volume but for future production demands
• Shorter time-to-production because the full system is aligned early in development
• Higher yield and fewer defects enabled by curing and dispensing methods tailored to the specific assembly
• Reduced risk, rework, and troubleshooting because potential issues are identified and resolved before full-scale production
• Greater confidence in meeting regulatory and quality requirements, supported by testing that reflects real manufacturing conditions

What value does collaboration with Dymax provide for your manufacturing process?

Many competitors supply materials and may offer some technical support, and of course many have standard material families. But what we emphasize is the full service cycle: material recommendation, dispense/curing system match-up, lab testing with your parts, process scalability, and validation. That depth is what creates real value for OEMs and contract manufacturers alike.

When you partner with Dymax, you’re not just buying a “light-curable adhesive.” You’re getting a team of experts, a lab service, an engineered solution tailored to your specific manufacturing challenge. That makes the difference between “works in prototype” and “works reliably at full-scale production.”
