Fast and Highly Durable Plastics Bonding New adhesive technology is bringing significant benefits to the assembly of products requiring multi-material and multi-substrate bonds with stringent performance criteria. The technical complexity of the application can often constrain the manufacturer’s ability to boost productivity to meet increased product demand but a new, patented hybrid technology is allowing many to address these issues. Developed by Henkel, the LOCTITE® HY 4090 is a new breed of adhesive that combines the fixture speed of an instant adhesive – also known as a cyanoacrylate – with the durability of an epoxy. This unique combination has opened-up new application areas for an instant adhesive in structural bonding and particularly applications where production speed is a major consideration. A good example of this technology’s merits is in the assembly of battery packs for electrical devices. To meet the projected production line volumes of a new product, the manufacturer... Read More

Webinar – Cost-Effective, Workshop Windscreen Replacement New TEROSON® adhesive formulations have made windscreen bonding a stable, reliable and workshop-friendly process that provides many commercial benefits. For any bodyshop or car workshop, windscreen replacement can add value to customer service and provide an attractive income stream. To showcase the process specifically for the workshop environment and create a forum for questions, Henkel is staging a webinar hosted by TEROSON direct glazing experts, Oto Tot and Joachim Plotzitzka. They will also introduce attendees to two key adhesives for workshops. TEROSON BOND 60 and TEROSON BOND 120 have safe drive-away times of 60 minutes and 120 minutes respectively so technicians can complete other tasks while the bonded windscreen builds initial strength within the SDAT. They are also underpinned by not just one safety standard, but two, allowing workshops to give their customers an extra layer of confidence. The webinar is on Tuesday... Read More

Rapid Response Composite Wrap Repairs Damaged Chemical Tank The ability of online repair specialist, Hydratight, to repair a chemical tank at speed with the LOCTITE® Composite Repair System, saved its customer from serious consequences. The problem was spotted during routine inspection of the operator’s processing facility and it needed to be resolved quickly, not only to restore compliance with stringent environmental legislation but also to prevent production losses. As the large holes and pitting marks that Hydratight discovered were in the roof of the chemical tank, some 14 metres off the ground, the first task was to construct scaffolding to provide access. As a welded repair was unsuitable for this area, Hydratight proposed the LOCTITE Composite Repair System. This is a proven solution with a great track record that Hydratight uses to restore vessel integrity and safeguard health and safety, especially when time is of the essence. Central to Henkel’s LOCTITE Repair System is a resin-based composite material... Read More
