Where adhesives beat mechanical fasteners

This is the title of a new technical article which I have just put up on our Technical bulletins & articles page. It was written by Nicole Langer, who is the Adhesives Technology Manager with our sales partners, DYMAX Corp.

Nicole gives a very good overview of the standard types of structural adhesives which are available to designers, giving the inevitable pros and cons of each.

Recognition is always nice, especially from old friends

Many thanks go to our sales partners, Transition Automation, who have sent us a plaque as a momento. It reads:

We have enjoyed many years of working together with the team at Transition, selling their Permalex squeegee blades. These long life squeegees improve stencil/screen printing process and are a significant advancement over polymer and low quality metal squeegee technology. Permalex squeegees improve printing yields, reduce defects, and reduce machine maintenance.

Our best wishes go to Mark Curtin and his team.

Our Sales & Marketing Coordinator, Michelle Cullinane, holding the gift.
