Adhesives

There are several advantages structural adhesives offer compared to other fastening methods. Here are a few, courtesy of global company and adhesive experts, Parker LORD. For one, structural adhesives provide processing convenience and overall assembly cost savings. Additionally, structural adhesives provide the following benefits: They are easy to use Require minimal surface preparation Require no…

  Adhesives Technology Corporation has released two new code-compliant, ICC-evaluated adhesive anchoring products: ULTRABOND HYB-2CC is a hybrid vinylester. ULTRABOND EPX-3CC is a high performance, value optimized epoxy. New federal regulations have raised the bar on performance requirements for adhesives that are used on federally funded projects and states are following suit. As engineers are…

A new versatile system from Master Bond can be used for bonding, sealing, coating and casting, where a strong chemical resistance profile is required. EP42-2LV Black is a two-part epoxy with low viscosity and good flow. It withstands prolonged immersion in many acids, bases, solvents, fuels, and oils. This compound has an easy to use…

This article is written by Gluespec As of 2020, 5G technologies are being built and sold, even though a 5G global network is a few years away yet. As with any new technology on the horizon, however, there are potential challenges that the industry is still working out how to address. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for…

  Master Bond‘s EP40Med, a two-part epoxy system, combines toughness and a low tensile modulus while still providing a relatively high lap shear strength. It meets the requirements of ISO 10993-5 testing and is, therefore, considered non-cytotoxic. This compound can be used for bonding, sealing, coating, and encapsulating. EP40Med resists sterilization to gamma, EtO, chemicals,…

Written by Mary Gannon, Editor Design World As the United States continues to deal with COVID-19, the disease caused by the most recent Coronavirus pandemic, one theme has run through all media outlets — the looming shortage of face masks and other non-woven protective medical gear including gowns and boots that doctors and nurses need…

Schreiner ProTech, a Germany-based provider of developing and manufacturing innovative functional labels, has developed a novel solution for bonding components typically used in the automotive and electronics industries. Known as “Folding Frame,” this patent-pending solution provides a more efficient and effective alternative to conventional conjoining methods — such as liquid gluing, bolting, soldering, riveting, single…

Master Bond EP35SP is a two-part epoxy system for bonding and sealing applications, providing resistance to many chemicals such as oils, acids, bases, water, fuels, and petrochemicals. It features both a high-glass transition temperature (Tg) and a broad service temperature range. Its Tg measures 215-220°C and its serviceability extends from -62° to +288° C (-80°…

Written by Chris Adam Purdue University A novel underwater adhesive technology, based on a glue used naturally by marine creatures, soon may provide a safer adhesive option for industries ranging from biomedical to aerospace. Mussel Polymers Inc. (MPI) – a startup created by Wardenclyffe Chemicals Inc., a technology development company – has licensed this patented adhesive technology from the Purdue…
