We tried a lot of solutions that failed before searching for KRÜSS. We even looked at other products at a high level, but eventually, I was sold after talking to Mark, the Technical Sales Representative from KRÜSS.

How GluDown Creates Firm Foundation with Surface Science
If you have worked in the construction space in the last decade then you have heard of, seen, or performed a Glue Down project (also called a No Hole project). For many contractors, Glue Down jobs have become their preferred forming process because it enables them to leave behind time-consuming and costly methods such as drilling, nailing, or cinder block building.
Calculating adhesion before gluing
Validating that the concrete slabs are adequately prepared to receive adhesive is critical to executing a successful Glue Down project. That’s why GluDown, Inc. partnered with KRÜSS to measure the surface free energy (SFE) and calculated the short- and long-term bond strength of slab concrete at various stages in the forming process.
How GluDown made adhesives work
KRÜSS and GluDown partnered together and this enabled GluDown to determine chemical compatibility with the adhesives commonly used in Glue Down projects. Learn more in our case study.
