Rubber & Polyurethane Bonding Services in Australia
Dorlen Rubber provides specialist joining and adhesion services for rubber and polyurethane components used in demanding industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications across Australia. Manufactured locally in Adelaide, our bonded assemblies are engineered to deliver long-term adhesion, structural integrity, and reliable performance in harsh operating environments.
This process allows different materials to be permanently joined, combining their individual properties into a single, high-performance component. Dorlen Rubber works closely with engineers, maintenance teams, and procurement professionals to deliver fit-for-purpose composite solutions where mechanical fastening alone is not suitable or effective.
Our in-house capabilities support both rubber and polyurethane materials joined to a wide range of substrates, enabling durable assemblies tailored to specific application requirements.
Built for performance. Made to last.
Material Joining Capabilities
Dorlen Rubber offers in-house joining services for a broad range of material combinations, providing flexibility in design, performance outcomes, and component lifespan.
Rubber Bonding Capabilities
We work with rubber materials permanently joined to:
Metal
Fabric
Concrete
Fibreglass
Polyurethane
Rubber-to-rubber assemblies
These assemblies are commonly used where vibration control, impact absorption, sealing, or wear resistance is required. Typical applications include mounts, buffers, protective linings, and composite components used in industrial environments.
Polyurethane Bonding Capabilities
In addition to rubber, Dorlen Rubber also provides joining solutions for polyurethane components combined with:
Metal
Rubber
Fabric
Concrete
Fibreglass
Polyurethane-to-polyurethane assemblies
Polyurethane-based assemblies are often specified where high abrasion resistance, load-bearing capacity, and long service life are critical. These components are commonly used in rollers, wheels, wear surfaces, and impact-resistant applications.
Surface Preparation & Adhesion Processes
Achieving reliable long-term adhesion requires careful surface preparation, material compatibility assessment, and controlled processing. Dorlen Rubber applies proven preparation methods and processing techniques to ensure strong attachment and consistent results.
Preparation and joining processes typically involve:
Thorough surface cleaning and inspection
Mechanical or chemical surface activation
Application of appropriate primers or adhesion agents
Controlled curing and finishing processes
Each solution is selected based on material type, operating conditions, environmental exposure, and performance requirements.
Applications of Bonded Rubber & Polyurethane Components
Joined rubber and polyurethane assemblies are used across a wide range of industrial applications, including:
Vibration mounts and isolators
Impact buffers and stops
Wear linings and protective coatings
Rollers, wheels, and composite wear surfaces (including pottery wheels)
Seals, gaskets, and hybrid assemblies
Structural protection and lining systems
These assemblies help absorb vibration, reduce noise, resist wear, and withstand repeated mechanical stress in demanding operating conditions.
