Among the participants at the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, kicking off in Australia in just over a week, is a student team from Aachen, Germany, and high-performance adhesives from Henkel.
A leader in high-precision delivery devices, medmix is partnering with Gurit, a manufacturer and supplier of advanced composite materials, to launch BondPro, a next-generation, two-component adhesive.
I am not going to sugar coat it, working for a publication dedicated to adhesives and sealants has generated not an insignificant amount of gentle ribbing from people in my life. And the longer I do this job, the less patience I have for the puns and jokes and the more apt I am to respond with a bit of a lecture about how important adhesives and sealants are to all of our lives.
Two-component, solvent-free epoxy adhesive material provides high adhesion to metallic substrates while also withstanding high movement or cyclic fatigue.
Structural adhesives can be used for affixing metal substrates or components as they provide high modulus and high strength, yet they are not currently internationally recognized like traditional methods even though adhesives are used in a range of industries.
