The Brighton Science story

More than 20 years ago, Brighton Science began as a development lab for plasma polymerized coatings. Through research and development work led by Chief Scientist and Founder Dr. Giles Dillingham, Brighton Science made great strides in the field of material science and adhesives in manufacturing. It was during this time that Brighton Science developed the Surface Analyst, the first hand-held contact angle measurement device used in the development of adhesive bonding for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.

As a solutions-focused company, Brighton Science has mastered the ability to ensure adhesion for manufacturers in an ever-growing array of industry applications. We’ve refined how research, design and production affect adhesion to help businesses create adhesion processes that result in quality products.

Through years of experience, our unparalleled products and our unique approach to fixing adhesion problems, we have helped some of the world’s largest companies build better products and develop reliable adhesion processes.
