Meeting structural challenges with reliable, high-performance bonding.
In today’s competitive building materials market, adhesives are more than just an accessory—they’re critical components in producing durable, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing doors and windows. At HAR Adhesive Technologies, we understand the complexity of modern manufacturing processes and provide a full spectrum of adhesive products designed to deliver strength, flexibility, and reliability across a wide range of substrates.
From polyvinyl acetates and hot melts to urethanes and polyurethanes, HAR’s adhesive solutions meet the ever-evolving needs of door and window manufacturers—whether you're bonding glass, metal, composites, or engineered wood products.
Innovative Solutions in Action: A Case Study
When one of the most forward-thinking window manufacturers approached HAR for a better way to build and install windows, we embraced the challenge. Their goal was ambitious: create a high-performance window that could be installed without structural reframing—cutting both time and cost for contractors and homeowners.
Our task? Identify an adhesive solution strong enough to secure glass to a composite window frame while ensuring durability, impact resistance, and performance in a wide range of environmental conditions.
Through extensive product testing and application trials, we specified a pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesive that:
Bonds glass securely to polymer frames engineered to resist UV degradation
Delivers exceptional holding strength and weather resistance
Enables quick and simple installation—fitting directly between standard 16" studs
The result is a window that installs like a picture frame but performs like a premium, custom product. By eliminating the need for structural changes, our adhesive solution helped the manufacturer bring a truly cost-effective and game-changing product to market.
