Called thermoset polyesters, these materials are glass fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyesters. They are also often referred to as “sheet molding compounds” (SMCs), “fiber-reinforced plastics” (FRPs), or simply “fiberglass.”
Taking a systematic approach and using selection tools available from adhesive manufacturers can streamline the pressure-sensitive adhesive selection process and help ensure strong bonding in each application.
The ideal pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) delivers exactly the right amount of bonding at the lowest cost. Choosing the right adhesive hasn’t always been easy, however. We have all heard stories about adhesives failing prematurely, as well as how costly those failures can be to product manufacturers.
Toyochem reports that the adhesive compositions do not contain any substances that may contaminate coating environments or cause costly bonding issues.
Toyochem Co., Ltd. has launched a new healthcare-use line of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) under its Oribain™ brand of acrylic adhesive solutions.
Recent innovations in the electronics industry, such as hybrid vehicles, mobile electronic devices, medical applications, digital cameras, computers, defense telecommunications, and augmented reality headsets, touch nearly every part of our lives.
I realize that the meter/mix equipment can be a major inconvenience. Adhesives come in two forms, namely two component or one component. Two-component adhesives are mainly epoxies, reactive acrylics, or polyurethanes.
Panacol has expanded its portfolio of dual-curing acrylic adhesives with the introduction of Vitralit® UD 8052 F, a low-viscosity, one-component UV-curable adhesive.
You have a wide range of structural adhesive possibilities here. Normally, you require an adhesive that has been toughened with a rubber for this. Very rigid, quite brittle adhesives have been successful, however.
Ushering growth in the 2020s, legacy players in the adhesives and sealants market are striving to cater to the demands of transportation companies. Traction for adhesives and sealants among manufacturers of cars, buses, trucks, and caravans/recreational vehicles (RVs) has surged in the past several years.
Mactac has launched a new line of LINTEC low-ooze, high-adhesion durable labelstocks, which reportedly features a converter-friendly balance of high initial tack and low edge bleed.
