SAE International announced details of its 2013 Aerospace Government and Industry Meeting, which will take place September 23 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Appli-tec Inc. recently announced it has reached an agreement with Raytheon Co. to manufacture a family of advanced aerospace-grade adhesives based on Raytheon’s proprietary designs.
This year’s event will provide educational sessions and networking events for manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and other industry experts from 36 countries.
Novel, all-acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions with inherently lower surface energy display significantly improved adhesion to LSE substrates such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
The prevailing trend toward the use of lighter weight and lower cost engineered plastics in automotive, construction, aerospace, electronics, and other industrial uses has created a need for pressure-sensitive materials that can bond well to these new, inherently low-surface-energy (LSE) plastics. This article discusses novel, all-acrylic compositions with inherently lower surface energy that display significantly improved adhesion to LSE substrates such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
