A new bedding system from National Starch and Chemical Co., Bridgewater, N.J., enables window manufacturers to bond glass to vinyl and wood sashes with greater strength, more quickly and with lower labor requirements.
Analytical tools are now available to engineers and product designers challenged with the task of reducing the radiated noise and vibration levels of structures.
The radiated noise and vibration characteristics of manufactured goods are a common concern for most product designers as they strive to provide products that are "whisper quiet."
A silicone sealant has been introduced for aluminum window and door manufacturing that delivers aggressive adhesion and outstanding performance in a non-flammable, low-VOC formulation.
IFF GmbH, Garching, Germany, aspires to extend custom-specific programs with helpful information about bonding technology quickly and at small expense to adhesives users.
Rhodia is introducing a full line of free-radical UV/EB acrylate-silicone release-coating chemistries that we believe will provide significant enhancements for UV/EB acrylate-silicone release technology.
The technology for controlling this distance has been developed by Precitec, Inc., and is currently being used on a number of robotic and pedestal adhesive stations at some very well-known automotive end-user plants.
Despite the proven performance advantages of ultraviolet (UV)-cure pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs), formulators have often been forced to seek alternative solutions due to the limited range of raw materials available and comparatively high prices.
A wide variety of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) products, such as stamps, stickers, tapes and labels, have increased in popularity since they offer important performance benefits for consumers, industry and government.
