Streamlining battery slurry mixing is the title of our latest White Paper by Kevin. Growing demand for lithium-ion batteries has inspired businesses to develop electrode slurry materials and optimise existing formulations. Electrode slurry consists of electrode particles, small carbon particles to help conduction, and binder material (polymer and solvent) to hold the structure together. With […]

Methyl methacrylate adhesives (MMAs) have found many successful applications in the manufacture of vehicles like cars, trucks, caravans and trailers. They can be used for bonding sun visors, sealing windows, cabins and dashboards, front grilles, bumper end caps, headlight surrounds, door extensions, brackets, panel bonding, trailer load lockers, trailer capping, trailer roofs and roof spoilers. […]

A high profile adhesive failure has hit the news in the last few days. The story has been widely reported – for example: Nearly All Cybertrucks Have Been Recalled Because Tesla Used the Wrong Glue. Reports suggest that Tesla will recall 46,000 Cybertrucks to repair a stainless steel trim panel that could come off the […]

SCIGRIP® SG800 High Temperature MMA Methyl Methacrylate Adhesive is a two component structural adhesive for bonding metals, as well as composites and plastics. Designed to withstand temperatures up to 150°C over prolonged periods, SCIGRIP SG800 is suitable for applications like under the bonnet engine bay component assembly and metal bonding prior to paint baking cycles.
