Master Bond

What Master Bond does

Master Bond Inc. is a privately held specialty adhesive, sealant, and coating manufacturer founded in 1975 and headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey. The company develops and produces over 3,000 polymer adhesive formulations spanning epoxy, silicone, UV/LED curable, urethane-modified epoxy, polysulfide-modified epoxy, cyanoacrylate, elastomeric, film adhesive/preform, and silicate-based chemistries. Its products serve manufacturing companies, R&D labs, and OEMs across aerospace, electronics/microelectronics, medical devices, optical/photonics, oil & chemical processing, and research institutions. Many products carry rigorous certifications including NASA low outgassing (ASTM E595), USP Class VI, ISO 10993-5/10, MIL-STD-883J/810G, UL 94V, and FDA food-grade compliance.

The company operates with 11-50 employees under the technical leadership of Dr. Walter Brenner (Technical Director) and manufactures made-to-order in single batches from its Hackensack facility, packaging products in standard sizes, syringes, cartridges, and premixed/frozen systems to maximize shelf life. Master Bond sells exclusively through direct sales — no distributors, no e-commerce, no retail channels — and ships globally from its US facility, with digital presence in English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.

Pricing is quote-based and consultative: technical engineers review each customer application requirement and recommend a specific formulation rather than publishing standardized price lists. Recent product launches — including EP54TC for thermal management (Jan 2026), EP3HTSDA-2Med for medical-grade electrically conductive assembly, MasterSil 981-LO for optical bonding, and a NASA Low Outgassing adhesive line (May 2026) — together with a co-development partnership with Nordson EFD for wearable medical sensors (Nov 2025) signal ongoing R&D investment and vertical deepening in regulated, high-margin end markets.
