Mixed, Not Stirred: Achieving Bubble-Free Adhesives and Sealants
When mixing adhesives and sealants, it is important to work as homogeneously as possible and without bubbles to ensure optimum adhesion and a full seal.
Hauschild Engineering reports that its SpeedMixer® has the ability to mix multi-material compounds in just a few minutes and without any air bubbles. Materials created with this mixer are used in almost all industries, including rubbers, paints, plastics, batteries, and—last but not least—adhesives and sealants. Inadequate mixing is particularly critical with adhesives and sealants, because air does not stick or seal.
The use of adhesives and sealants is increasingly replacing conventional joining techniques. When mixing, it is important to work as homogeneously as possible and without bubbles to ensure optimum adhesion and a full seal.
