Furniture handles and glass bonding plates for UV bonding to glass

The bonding of glass and furniture fittings made of stainless steel has always been a very attractive and discrete method which has many advantages: On the one hand, the bonding of the Furniture handles and Furniture knobs with UV adhesive to glass is a quick and clean method, and secondly it is an economical procedure. Another advantage is that after curing, the adhesive appears transparent and is very resilient.

What is UV bonding and where is it used?

Using light-curing UV adhesive, materials such as glass and glass or metal and glass can be permanently bonded together. UV adhesive is highly transparent so that no residue is visible after bonding. The very low-viscosity adhesive is cured with the help of special UV light and thus creates a very stable glass bond that can withstand high loads.

UV bonding of glass and metal elements mainly plays a role in glass furniture construction, where, for example, glass furniture tables with Glass bonding plates made of stainless steel or furniture feet glued to glass plates .

Our selection ranges from square and round Glass adhesive plates for table columns, furniture handles and knobs, spacers and furniture feet. Choose from this range for your projects or we can develop and manufacture your UV bonding ideas.

Notes on pre-treatment of the adhesive surfaces and processing

Glass bonding should be carried out by specialist companies with the appropriate experience and equipment. Since UV bonding is permanent and subsequent detachment is almost impossible, you should observe a few points before attaching the metal to the glass:

Clean the surfaces to be bonded thoroughly - they must be free of grease, clean and dry. We recommend using a special cleaner for glass bonding; standard glass and household cleaners are unsuitable in most cases. The cleaner must not leave any residue or form any separating layers on the adhesive surface.

With the help of the right UV adhesive you will achieve the right results. For the material combination glass and metal you should use medium viscosity adhesives.

Use a suitable UV lamp for curing. This should be at least as long as the adhesive edge to avoid tension due to uneven exposure. Position it as close as possible to the bonding surface and do not move the workpieces under any circumstances. You can use fixing aids as aids.

Recommendations

We recommend that you check the individual parts for accuracy of fit before applying the adhesive. It is best to assemble your entire construction once with the help of fixing aids before applying the adhesive and check all dimensions and edges.
Warm up the glued areas before applying the adhesive. However, make sure that there is no more than 5 minutes between heating and applying the adhesive. Otherwise, repeat the process.
It is best to apply the adhesive in a horizontal position. This ensures that the furniture fitting is lowered onto the glass evenly and without bubbles. Due to the weight of the fitting, the adhesive is distributed evenly over the entire surface to be glued

We cannot accept any liability for the adhesive you use, nor for the UV bonding procedure you carry out and the results it produces.
