When Strong Grip Meets Smooth Handling – The Adhesive Workhorse for Industrial Assembly

MR. JO Tecbond – LVT: The Modern Epoxy Choice for Brush Manufacturers

As brush manufacturing evolves, so do the materials behind it. MR. JO Tecbond – LVT is our latest innovation — a next-generation brush hair locking epoxy designed for today’s automated, high-speed, and cost-sensitive production lines.

If you’re looking for a product that performs reliably, flows just right, and meets tighter price points without compromising on brush durability — LVT is your answer.

Solving precision bonding and sealing needs in textile reeds and tough utility applications

🎯 The Problem:

When assembling textile machine reeds, metal casings, or custom molded components, industrial users often face a threefold challenge:

✅ Need for strong, gap-filling adhesion
✅ Need for consistent, controlled flow — not too thick, not too runny
✅ Need for long working time without compromising bond integrity

Conventional epoxies either:

• Sag too much, spilling from the joint or running down
• Are too thick to apply easily in narrow or complex gaps
• Or dry too fast, reducing workability and margin for adjustments

✅ The MR. JO Solution:

MR. JO Tecbond – OPK strikes the perfect balance with its medium viscosity paste-like consistency, making it ideal for filling irregular joints, assembling textile reeds, and bonding metal parts where reliability and ease-of-use both matter.

It sits between OPT and IW in viscosity — giving it the versatility of a flowable paste and the holding power of a toughened epoxy.

Why OPK stands out:

• Moderate viscosity: Easy to spread and self-hold
• High bond strength: Bonds well with metals, ceramics, composites
• Multiple colors available: Grey-white, red, beige, sky blue, others on request
• Can be easily sanded or shaped after cure

🛠️ How to Use It:

1. Surface Preparation:
   Clean surfaces using acetone or IPA. Roughen smooth areas for better grip.
2. Mixing:
   Mix Part A and B thoroughly in 100:80 ratio (by weight) till homogeneous.
3. Application:
   Apply using spatula, squeeze tube, or manually for precision work.
4. Curing:
   Allow to set at room temp (8–12 hours for handling). Full strength in 24–36 hours. Optional oven cure for faster results.

💡 Tips for Best Use:

• Add filler powders (quartz/silica) to increase thixotropy or strength for gap filling.
• Match adhesive color to the part color for clean visual finishes.
• Always mix in small batches to avoid early gelation.

🆚 How OPK Compares:

MR. JO Tecbond – OPK is the go-to workhorse adhesive when you need a balance between control and strength. Perfect for workmen and industries that demand precision, versatility, and long-term durability — without compromising on workability.

It’s not too thick, not too thin — just right for the jobs that matter.
