The 5th International Conference on Rubber Bonding will be held at the Holiday Inn in Dusseldorf, Germany, on 21st and 22nd February 2006.

The aim of any manufacturer is the establishment of the best possible bonds between rubbers and substrates, and to achieve the best service life from the products manufactured.

The emphasis of this conference is on the applied technology of rubber bonding.

No single method or adhesive can provide the required level of adhesion to all elastomers, or even to one elastomer in different applications.

Factors to be considered include the rubber type and compounding system, the application of the bonded assembly, the environment, the substrate, the moulding method, the geometry of the part, colour and means of application.

There are also extensive regulations affecting adhesives, in particular the use of solvents.

There are many new solvent-free adhesive systems.

This conference on rubber bonding aims to bring together manufacturers, rubber technologists and adhesives and adhesion specialists to debate the hot topics in rubber bonding.

This is an excellent opportunity to network with experts in this field and discuss the latest developments.

Papers are invited on all aspects of rubber bonding from substrate preparation to long-term bond durability, and methods of bonding rubber to metal, fabric, plastics and rubbers.
