The Engineering Behind the Bond

Adhesive technologies are silent enablers of innovation – from bonding lightweight materials in electric vehicles to enabling clean removability in medical applications. At Lohmann, R&D is the driving force: curious, responsible, and application-driven.
By combining chemistry, material science and process innovation, we develop adhesive solutions that meet the demands of tomorrow. 

Agile development is our strength – we adapt proven formulations, optimize designs, and turn new requirements into ready-to-use tapes, fast.
From mobility and electronics to medical and industrial sectors, we create high-performance adhesives tailored to your materials, processes, and goals.

 

With decades of formulation knowledge and digital tools, we accelerate development, optimize VOC levels, improve material behavior and enhance lab workflows.
Backed by over 170 years of engineering expertise, Lohmann delivers advanced adhesive technologies through close collaboration with customers and research partners – often co-developed and seamlessly integrated into high-volume production.

Future-Ready Technologies for Responsible Bonding

We innovate to improve what matters: performance, processability and sustainability. Our R&D teams are constantly exploring recyclable materials, solvent-free systems and functional layers that go beyond bonding. What drives us is not just what's possible – but what makes a real difference in your product and your value chain.

Responsible solutions
in every bond

Integrity and responsibility as a foundation for customers, employees, society and the environment - this is our conviction and the standard by which we measure ourselves. Our focus: Creating sustainable products and business models and leading by example. We firmly believe that economic success and environmental and social responsibility go hand in hand.

Applied Innovation – From Lab to Line

Our R&D doesn’t stop in the lab. We scale innovations reliably – from pilot coating to full production. Working closely with our application and process engineering teams, we make sure your solution is not just innovative, but also scalable, certifiable and fit for industrial integration.

An adhesive tape may look simple. But every layer is the result of deliberate, high-precision engineering: from polymer synthesis and compounding to carrier material selection and liner design. At Lohmann, we master this complexity by aligning mechanical, chemical, and functional properties to your specific application – whether it’s damping, conductivity, breathability or biocompatibility.
