Cotronics Corporation

A patented reactive hot-melt silicone, HM-2500 Assembly Sealant provides as much immediate adhesion as doubled-sided pressure sensitive adhesive tape, then cures to a flexible, weather resistant silicone seal with durability and ultraviolet resistance. It provides immediate hold so parts can be moved from one processing step to the next without delays. HM-2500 provides long-lasting adhesion to PVC, aluminum, painted and treated wood, high-performance paints, plastics and various substrates. The moisture curing, 100% silicone is optimized for use with automated dispensing equipment which creates a uniform seal for part-to-part consistency and minimizes sealant waste and cleanup.

Dow Corning Corporation

Highly flexible two part epoxy EP21TDC-4 has been developed for bonding, sealing and coating applications. It is formulated to cure at ambient temperatures or more quickly at elevated temperatures. It has a high peel strength of >30 pli and an elongation of over 300%. Bonds have excellent resistance to vibration, impact and shock. The epoxy is 100% reactive and no solvents or diluents are emitted during cure. It is particularly recommended for adhesion to natural rubber, neoprene, nitride and SBR rubber compounds without time consuming surface preparation procedures.

Master Bond Inc.

Devcon's Metal Welder™ adhesive has been reformulated to provide a longer working time (5-6 minutes at 72°F). The new formulation is a non-sagging 10:1 methacrylate with a mixed viscosity of 55,000 cps and tiny glass beads throughout the activator which optimize adhesion by ensuring a consistent gap of 20 mils between bonded surfaces. Designed to bond bare, painted, plated, or galvanized metals to each other or to thermoplastic or composite assemblies, Metal Welder requires no primers and minimal surface preparation. It produces high-strength, durable bonds with superior impact and peel resistance.

Devcon

Devcon's new Flex Welder FC (Fast Cure) is ideal for quickly and permanently assembling products subject to flexing, shock, vibration or variations in temperatures up to 250°F. Recommended for bonding nylon and its alloys, modified polyesters, epoxy composites, plastics and even metals, this flexible methacrylate adhesive provides 100% tensile elongation, producing load-bearing bonds with excellent impact, peel and shear resistance. It has a working time of 3 minutes and a fixture time of 9 minutes at room temperature.

VersaBlue 50 adhesive melters deliver enhanced flexibility, reliability, durability and performance to high-volume, high-speed product assembly, packaging and nonwovens operations. The precision melter technology provides precise adhesive add-on weights and reduces maintenance. VersaBlue adhesive melters offer variable-speed AC motors and multiple pump selections to meet specific manufacturing requirements. The melters utilize a VxWorks®-based industrial PC. The integrated touch screen allows for a graphical display of the adhesive system simplifying programming and operation. A 7-day clock allows automatic daily startup, standby and shutdown.

Nordson Corporation

Aremco-Bond™ 820 is a flexible, high temperature epoxy system used for general purpose bonding of ceramics, glass, plastics, metals and other substrates for applications to 204°C. It demonstrates chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, organic fluids and salts. The product mixes easily in a 1-to-1 ratio, providing a mixed viscosity of 12,000 cps and cure time of 45 minutes at room temperature. The Shore-D hardness is 70 and shrinkage is less than .008 in/in upon curing. Flexural and tensile shear strengths are 8,000 and 1,200 psi, respectively.

Aremco Products, Inc.

Loctite® Hysol® U-09LV is a low viscosity, industrial grade urethane adhesive for bonding polycarbonate, PVC and a variety of other plastics, as well as glass and metal. Once mixed, the two-component adhesive cures at room temperature to form an ultra-clear, highly flexible bondline. This urethane adhesive provides excellent peel strength and moisture resistance and is ideal for applications that require an optically clear, non-yellowing adhesive.

Henkel Loctite Corporation

Unifilm® UJ504 is a high-performance, unsupported acrylic adhesive transfer film formulated for general industrial bonding applications. The product is used for bonding nameplates and applying decorative parts, as well as laminating to foam substrates for gasketing and sound control. It offers good chemical, heat and humidity resistance and performs well over a wide temperature range. Offering good long term aging, this transfer film will also withstand environmental extremes. The product exhibits high peel strength, high sheer, high cohesive strength and good creep resistance.

Scapa North America

The transparent Araldite® UV-absorbing epoxy adhesive is specially formulated for bonding glass to glass, metal and ceramics and is designed for use in manufacturing welding helmets and other products in which UV transmission issues are important. The low-viscosity, easy-to-spread epoxy is also ideal for general-bonding projects that require clear bondlines. It is well suited for glass and ceramic art restoration.
