AREMCO OFFERS NEW CERAMIC ADHESIVE Ceramabond™
835M, a new alumina-based ceramic adhesive, is now used to assemble high-intensity, high-wattage halogen lamps in high-speed production systems. Ceramabond 835M is a water-based formulation that bonds aggressively to ceramics, glasses and metals. It is supplied as a single part, dispensable paste that is ideally suited for automatic dispensing in high-speed production systems. Product properties include an operating temperature resistance of 3000°F (1650°C), dielectric strength of 200 volts per mil, and tensile-shear strength of 500-600 psi after exposure to 1000°F. For high-speed production, full curing is accomplished within 60 minutes by step curing in a tunnel
furnace for 30 minutes each at 100°C and 200°C, respectively. Shrinkage upon curing is less than 1%. Uncured residue may be cleaned up with warm water and soap.
COMPAC CORP. LAUNCHES NEW HIGH-PERFORMANCE ADHESIVE TAPE NetBond™
30 is a reinforced acrylic adhesive transfer tape primarily utilized for foam and gasket fabricating, with applications in the automotive, appliance, and industrial markets. NetBond is water resistant and functions as a general-purpose laminating tape. It also features a moisture stable liner and provides dependable adhesion to a variety of foam types. NetBond’s synthetic fiber netting provides additional benefit by reinforcing and strengthening thin foams. As a result of its unique properties, it can adhere to such diverse materials and surfaces as ether, ester, polyethylene, neoprene and vinyl nitrile foams. The tape also possesses an easily removable release liner.
HENKEL INTRODUCES NEW LEAD-FREE SOLDER PASTE Multicore®
LF600 is a halide-free, no-clean Pb-free solder paste that has been formulated for excellent humidity resistance and is ideal for varying manufacturing climates, enabling multinational firms to qualify and deploy the material globally with the guarantee of consistent results. These characteristics allow for superior printing and reflow performance, even in regions where temperatures are upwards of 30°C (86°F) with 80% relative humidity. The formulation of Multicore LF600 utilizes a new activator chemistry that combines excellent coalescence with ultra-low voiding to deliver excellent long-term, in-field reliability results. In addition, the material has been designed with
an innovative gelling technology that enables zero hot slump and eliminates any issues with mid-chip solder beading.
I&J FISNAR OFFERS NEW DIAPHRAGM VALVE FOR PRECISE FLOW CONTROL The VD510 is a diaphragm valve designed for precise flow control of low-to-medium viscosity materials (under 10,000 cps). The valve is small in size, weighing 2.7 oz and standing just 3.1 inches; this makes it ideal for stand-alone bench dispensing or machine integration. The diaphragm valve design separates the wetted parts from the driving parts, thus making the valve ideal for dispensing cyanoacrylates, electrolytes, reagents, glues, paints, solvents, alcohol and other volatile substances that may cause damage to machinery. When air pressure is applied to the valve with a standard I&J Fisnar dispenser, the valve will open and the material will be dispensed. After the dispense
cycle has finished, a spring assists the valve in returning to its closed position for immediate shut-off, which allows little to no chance of material waste.
LANXESS ANNOUNCES NEW MPP BUSINESS UNIT DISTRIBUTOR LANXESS Corp., Pittsburgh, has named ChemPoint.com as an authorized distributor for the group. ChemPoint.com will now distribute BIOCHEK® industrial preservatives, TEKTAMER® commercial microbiocides, METASOL® commercial parasiticide/biocides, and some PREVENTOL® products to specified customers nationwide.
M&C SPECIALTIES OFFERS ACRYLIC FOAM TAPES FOR METAL ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURES This company offers its high-quality 3M™
VHB 4611 and 5952 adhesive tapes for fast, permanent attachment during the fabrication of metal electrical enclosures, particularly when attaching hat channel stiffeners, viewing windows, print pockets and more. These comfortable, double-coated and pressure-sensitive acrylic foam tapes are available in two designs, and both offer speed assembly, reduced shop noise, an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and the choice to bond either before or after painting. These tapes create a clean, smooth appearance on walls and doors, with no spot-weld defects or refinishing. They also allow for neat application without the mess, ooze and curing delay of liquid adhesives.
POLYMER PROCESSING CO. UNVEILS NEW MULTI-COMPONENT DISPENSE MACHINES The TC Series of dispense machines covers all dispensing needs, and new MZ-108 and MZ-109 Direct-Inject heads allow PPC to engineer a machine to match a user’s exact needs from 5 to 100 lbs/min. The company also offers stationary or articulating arms to aid in space conservation and complete dispensing maneuverability.
SARTOMER PLANS JAPANESE TECHNICAL CENTER Sartomer Co., Exton, PA, has announced plans to open a new 3,832-square-foot technical center and office space in Yokohama, Japan, in December of this year. The facility will house Sartomer Japan, which opened in 2005 and is part of the company’s Asian operations. The facility will include a research lab for developing new photocure materials for the electronics, plastics, optical media and flat-panel display industries in Japan and Asia. The remaining space will be dedicated to meeting rooms and storage.
THOMAS ASSOCIATES EXPANDS UV CURING APPLICATIONS LAB Thomas Associates, Marblehead, MA, has announced an expansion of its customer applications and development laboratory. Located just 10 miles north of Boston’s Logan Airport, the revamped lab features a full complement of EXFO spot-curing systems and optics. Customers are welcome to visit the lab and test curing equipment, radiometers, optical accessories, and adhesives, thus optimizing their process before any equipment is purchased.
VIKING PUMP RELEASES NEW SERIES OF SEALLESS, NON-METALLIC PUMPS The Composite Mag Drive (CMD) is a new series of sealless, non-metallic pumps specially designed for crucial liquid containment applications, including corrosive chemicals, volatile organic chemicals and flammable liquids. Due to the CMD pump’s engineered fluoropolymer and ceramic-wetted material design and construction, the series of pumps can handle a broad pH range and offers advanced durability, broader compatibility, and corrosion resistance. The new CMD series is also available at a lower cost of acquisition when compared to other exotic metallic pumps on the market.
