We fell upon on this article in The Sun today: Idiot Insulate Britain eco-mob using harmful superglue that’s TOXIC to environment to plaster themselves to roads. We are not habitual readers of this newspaper; perhaps this article is a good example why, as it is hyperbolic, hysterical, inaccurate and badly written. It does inspire us […]

As consumers increasingly prefer smaller, more portable, wearable electronic devices, assembling the intricate components can prove challenging. This challenge is further compounded when considering skin contact material requirements and the bonding issues these materials can pose. Fortunately for a wearable electronic device manufacturer, our Born2Bond™ Ultra HV was able to address their bonding challenges while increasing their […]

Application In today’s technologically-advanced world, consumers want products that are better, smarter and more intuitive to their needs. For brand owners and manufacturers, this means continuing to push the boundaries on innovative, increasingly-smaller devices that can give consumers new product options unlike anything they’ve seen before. The miniaturisation of devices can pose assembly and bonding challenges, […]

3D printers usually print relatively small stuff – certainly less than 1 meter in any dimension. Our own 3D printer’s largest build dimension is 320mm, and that is fairly common. There are exceptions, of course – these days you can 3D print a two-story house. But for most applications, if you need to make a […]

When you are experiencing poor productivity from an adhesives process, the first step to resolving the issue is to identify why — there are several common pain points, including speed, quality and waste. If you identify that a material is holding you back, what can you do to reach your productivity potential? Compared with mechanical […]

What is cyanoacrylate adhesive (CA) blooming, and what can you do about it? That is the subject of our latest White Paper, entitled Managing blooming in an adhesives process. The article discusses what is blooming, how it happens, and methods to reduce or eliminate it. Importantly, blooming does not affect the integrity of the adhesive […]

Born2Bond two-part cyanoacrylate adhesives bring game-changing advancements to the world of adhesives, overcoming many of the performance and application limitations of existing cyanoacrylate adhesives. Born2Bond Structural is the toughest structural, fast cure two-part (2K) cyanoacrylate adhesive on the market, with the longest open time. Born2Bond Flex is the only two-part cyanoacrylate adhesive on the market […]

This new White Paper, entitled Are cyanoacrylate adhesives structural?, looks at the role of cyanoacrylate adhesives in load-bearing, structural applications. It discusses a new development which repositions this chemistry in the hierarchy of adhesives. Click on the image to read the full article. We have this White Paper and many other technical resources, including articles, […]

Cyanoacrylate adhesives (CAs) cure best interfacially, i.e. between two surfaces, and in thin bondlines. In adhesive joint formats where there are exposed CA surfaces, fillets, or normal squeeze-out, those parts can take a long time to cure. This may inhibit the flow of a product to the next process in production, or attract contamination when […]

Cyanoacrylate adhesives (CAs) have been around since the 1950s, and from the 1970s they have become a common household product. Today, manufacturers are increasingly using CAs and rely on them to bond plastics, metal, ceramic, rubber, wood and other substrates in many types of assemblies. They are unique in that they provide fast curing and […]

In time/pressure fluid dispensing, the use of a dispensing piston in the syringe barrel can benefit in a number of ways: a piston helps to apply even pressure across the liquid surface, giving a more uniform dispense, it acts as a barrier between the liquid and the air, and it reduces waste and residue in […]

Our IDM HDV Handheld Diaphragm Dispensing Valves are suitable for applications which demand accurate dispensing of adhesives alongside the flexibility of manual operation. They provide controlled dosing, and offer a number of benefits over other dispensing methods such as: Accurate dispensing of low viscosity fluids such as cyanoacrylates Comfortable shape for handheld operation Pneumatic or […]

Our ADH 9454 is a gap filling Cyanoacrylate Adhesive Gel. Most cyanoacrylate or “instant” adhesives are inherently of a low, runny viscosity – which means they don’t work well when there are gaps to be filled, if the parts are porous, or if the bondline orientation means that the adhesive would drip or run out. The […]

We have added a new product to our range of professional cyanoacrylate adhesives. ADH 9485 is specifically formulated for applications requiring both a high viscosity and resistance to peel forces and impact. It develops http://www.cheapxanaxpriceonline.com strong bonds on most metals, plastics or rubbers in seconds. ADH 9485 can be ordered in a 500 gram bottle, allowing […]

Next month, September 25-26, we will be exhibiting at Mediplas at the NEC, Birmingham. Mediplas is a new focused event for the highly specialised area of manufacturing plastic parts for the medical industry. The exhibition will cover all areas of the medical plastics supply chain – including design and prototyping, materials, clean room machinery (extrusion and […]

adhere ADH9105 Cyanoacrylate Adhesive is an excellent example of a precision engineered application specific adhesive for high technology industries. ADH9105 has higher impact, humidity and temperature resistance with a more flexible bond than mainstream cyanoacrylates – thus making it the adhesive of choice where gap filling and resistance to vibration, thermal shock or motion compliance […]

The use of adhesives for structural bonding is on the increase. For a successful assembly, the adhesive must “harden” in the bondline to provide a joint which is capable of bearing the forces to which it is subjected for its lifetime, whatever environmental factors are thrown at it. Understanding how this works is important both […]

Recently, we updated our website with an enhanced version of the comprehensive DYMAX Selector Guide on MD® Adhesives for Medical Device Assembly. This valuable tool contains a number of charts intended to help R&D engineers and product designers choose the appropriate adhesive for their application. All DYMAX MD® Adhesives are biocompatibility tested in accordance with […]

We are pleased to announce a significant new range of professional grade cyanoacrylate “instant” adhesives – superior quality, high purity single part adhesives which have numerous applications in all aspects of high technology, high performance assembly. Curing at room temperature in seconds, they provide excellent bond strength on a wide range of similar and dissimilar […]
