MR. JO Tecbond – IW
The reliable adhesive for reed makers who value consistency and control.

🏭 The Challenge:

Textile reeds are vital components in weaving machines. Each reed has a series of metal dents or wires aligned with extreme precision to guide warp yarns during weaving.

The manufacturing process demands:

Strong, gap-free bonding between metal wires and frame
No corrosion or reaction with metals
Easy-to-use material that allows manual or semi-automatic application
Consistent viscosity – not too runny, not too thick
Smooth finish for final machining or coating

🎯 The Solution:

MR. JO Tecbond – IW is a flowable, epoxy-based adhesive system engineered for:

✔️ Easy filling between reed frame and wires
✔️Strong adhesion to mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum
✔️Controlled flow – fills all gaps but doesn’t flood over
✔️ Cures to a tough, machinable mass
✔️ Withstands oiling, wiping, cleaning, and handling stress

🧪 Working Properties:

Mixing Ratio: 100:80 (A:B) by weight
Pot Life: ~40–60 mins at 25°C
Color Options: Grey white, beige, red, or custom
Finish: Opaque, matte or smooth
Surface Handling: 6–8 hours | Full cure: 24 hrs

🛠️ Application Method:

Align reed wires in the frame with jigs and fixtures.
Mix the resin in 100:80 ratio and stir well.
Pour or inject the adhesive along the channel or cavity.
Allow to settle and level. Wipe off any excess.
