3M offers new tape series for difficult-to-bond materials
Bonding low-surface energy (LSE) plastics can be a sticky challenge. Why? Because the plastic-to-plastic bond typically fails to offer enough adhesion to stick properly. This means costly, time-consuming priming or adhesion promoters, unpleasant odors, including other process steps, are required to work. Such challenges can inhibit the bonding of composites and LSE plastics and, ultimately,…

What are torsion springs?
By Dr. Jody Muelaner A torsion spring is a component made from elastic material that, when twisted, exerts a moment resisting the rotation. Common types of torsion spring include helical torsion springs, torsion bars, and spiral wound torsion springs. Helical torsion springs are made from a material, typically sprung steel spring wire, and formed into…

What are industrial seals?
By Dr. Jody Muelaner Industrial seals are used to prevent leakage, hold pressure, and deflect contamination at interfaces between components. Industrial seals are used at static and dynamic interfaces. Examples of static interfaces include the entry point of bolts and screws, and the interface between an engine block and cylinder head. Adhesives and gaskets are…
