Welding Is Not The Only Solution, The Invisible Partner of Stainless Steel!

From kitchen pots and pans to precision instruments in operating rooms, from decorative lines on building facades to battery components for new energy vehicles, stainless steel has become an indispensable "all-around player" in modern industry and life due to its corrosion resistance, high strength, and easy cleaning properties.

However, when stainless steel needs to be bonded to other materials (such as aluminum alloy, glass, plastic) or its own components, the limitations of traditional welding processes gradually become apparent: thermal deformation, corrosion risk, process complexity

How to make the "bonding" of stainless steel equally safe and reliable? The answer is hidden in a seemingly ordinary material: Genesis C-468 stainless steel specific silicone adhesive.

Adhesive dilemma "| Welding is not the only answer

1、 Diversified bonding requirements for stainless steel:

In the field of architecture: sealing of stainless steel curtain walls and glass, fixing of railings and bases;      

• Home scene: seams between stainless steel cabinets and countertops, waterproof sealing of shower room frames;     

Industrial manufacturing: connection between stainless steel equipment and plastic pipes, sealing of sensor housings;     

In the field of new energy: adhesion between battery terminals and stainless steel shells, and weather resistant fixation of photovoltaic brackets.

2、 There are three major pain points in traditional welding processes:

1. Risk of thermal deformation: High temperature processes such as laser welding can easily cause deformation of thin stainless steel plates, affecting accuracy;     

2. Corrosion hazard: If the welding points are not treated, the structural strength may be reduced due to electrochemical corrosion;     

3. Process limitations: Heterogeneous materials (such as stainless steel and plastic) cannot be directly welded and require additional connectors.

Case warning: The stainless steel curtain wall of a commercial complex suffered from corrosion at the welding points, resulting in the detachment of the glass panel; A new energy vehicle battery pack experienced shell cracking during vibration testing due to welding stress concentration.

Genesis C-468 | Refactoring Safety Standards with 'Molecular Level Adhesive'

Genesis C-468 stainless steel specific silicone adhesive targets the core pain points of stainless steel bonding through three core technologies:

1. A neutral formula that eliminates the risk of corrosion. The stainless steel surface contains chromium oxide film, and acidic adhesive can damage the film layer, leading to corrosion. C-468 adopts a 100% neutral silicone formula, which has been tested by SGS and is compatible with 304/316 stainless steel.

2. With super strong displacement capability, stainless steel is prone to displacement due to thermal expansion and contraction or external impact under dynamic loads. C-468 has a tensile strength of 1.2MPa (national standard ≥ 0.6MPa), elongation ≥ 200%, and can adapt to a displacement of ± 1mm.

3. Rapid curing, shortening the construction period. Traditional welding requires 24 hours of cooling, while C-468 has a surface drying time of only 30 minutes and can reach the design strength within 24 hours.

Avoiding pitfalls guide | Three major misconceptions to reset safety to zero

Misconception 1: Using universal glue instead of specialized glue. Ordinary silicone glue contains acidic components and can corrode stainless steel, leading to adhesive failure. Neutral silicone glue must be used.

Misconception 2: Ignoring the high temperature and humidity in the construction environment can lead to colloidal bubbles, while low temperature can delay solidification. The construction environment should be controlled at a temperature of 15-30 ℃, humidity ≤ 80%, and construction is prohibited on rainy days.

3. Misconception 3: Failure to conduct compatibility testing may result in differences in the composition of different batches of stainless steel, and direct construction carries risks. Take samples for adhesive testing before construction.

Conclusion | Safety is a commitment that technology must achieve

The widespread application of stainless steel has upgraded bonding technology from an "auxiliary process" to a "safety critical" one. Genesis C-468 stainless steel specific silicone adhesive provides molecular level safety assurance for the "invisible connection" of stainless steel with its neutral formula, super strong adhesion, and fast curing technology advantages. Choosing C-468 is not only about choosing a glue, but also about choosing respect and commitment to life. Let every stainless steel bond become a solid barrier for safety, starting with choosing Genesis C-468!
