Although we at Chemical Concepts distribute top quality products in many markets and industries, you could say that one of our specialties is the Sign Industry. With nearly four decades of experience in the Sign Industry ourselves, we’re accustomed to the many applications and environments you may run into, and we have knowledge of its ever advancing technology, as it relates to the adhesives that bond and secure your signs and displays. Further, we were actually among the first distributors nationally to offer composite adhesives for signs in easy-to-use cartridges!

We supply only the best sign industry products, including silicones, tapes, dispensing guns, and no drill hardware. You can trust us and our 40 years of experience to match you with the appropriate product and offer you accurate and honest advice.

Below are several product categories and brands with an affinity in the sign industry, all available through the Chemical Concepts team.

Channel Lettering Products

Channel letters are common to signage and even preferred for store front presentations. A strong and reliable bond, therefore, is a must with these applications, but so is an attractive and eye-catching look. Chemical Concepts offers many channel lettering adhesive tools that cover both strength and appearance, like hot melt sticks (see Chem-Set’s HM612 High Strength picture below) and their corresponding hot melt guns, two-part acrylics, multi-component manual guns, and more.

Tapes

Another mainstay with sign applications is tape of several sorts. High bond tapes, like Tesa’s ACXplus-clear-7055, are used primarily with signage, particularly with more delicate, constructive bonding applications. Double-sided varieties can be used effectively with outdoor signs, given its ability to withstand the elements. We have many tape options, whether it’s high bond, double-sided, V-Groove, or even banner and masking tape, from trusted brands like Tesa and Chem-Set.

Dispensing Guns

In applying epoxies, urethanes, and acrylics used in the sign industry, trusted applicator guns are a key cog in the bonding process. Multi-component guns, like the Newborn 535XSP pictured below, can effectively and evenly apply two-part adhesives, at the preferred ratio. There are other options too, like the Newborn 520 and the Chem-Set CCH50G, plus a range of static mixers and other gun accessories.

The Best Brands

When it comes to sign industry products and accessories, we offer the most popular and trusted brands like Lord, Tesa, and our very own, Chem-Set. Lord’s Signlok 810 and Signlok 400 Series are fast curing, flexible adhesives best used for bonding metals like aluminum, galvanized steel, engineered plastics, and more. We’re proud too to carry Tesa, the universal experts in tape, offering their ACX Plus line of tapes, plus masking, banner, and interior mounting tapes. Chem-Set covers all types of sign functions, from the Keep-Nut anchoring system to high strength sealants like the MS35 and 75 AM.
