Robust joining process from Orbitform

Robust joining process from Orbitform
Orbitform has developed a robust joining process to compliment its orbital forming line. Rollerforming uses multiple rollers mounted on a rotating spindle to gently smooth and form material into a seamless, solid form. The rollers intersect the workpiece on a precise contact line, gradually moving material to the desired shape.

Intertronics have the answers! The 2 most important questions in adhesive usage

Intertronics have the answers! The 2 most important questions in adhesive usage
How much adhesive has been applied and where? When is the adhesive fully cured? These two questions have plagued many instances of adhesive usage, often forcing “belt-and-braces” measures, generally costing valuable time. Now, Intertronics, together with sales partner, DYMAX, have what may be the first credible solution to both questions – See-Cure technology. See-Cure technology is an indicator of cure which builds a visible quality assessment factor into the assembly process. The colour change is directly linked to the photo-initiator in the adhesive.

ThreeBond 1300 - the total package on anaerobic adhesives

ThreeBond 1300 - the total package on anaerobic adhesives
Global adhesive manufacturers ThreeBond are delighted that their anaerobic 1300 series offers such a comprehensive spread of solutions for cleverly bonding the joints of all types of threads etc, preventing them from loosening or leaking. They are distinguished from ordinary adhesives and sealants by the fact that they remain liquid so long as they are in contact with air, and as they enter fine gaps in metal parts and become isolated from oxygen, they harden at normal temperature without shrinking.

Fastening & Assembly Solutions Exhibition Report - Fastener problems met by problem solvers!

Fastening & Assembly Solutions Exhibition Report - Fastener problems met by problem solvers!
October’s Fastening & Assembly Solutions Exhibition, held at the National Motorcycle Museum, was considered the best yet. With more exhibitors present than ever, the visitors certainly responded – attracted presumably by a free lunch and the chance to discuss their problems with some of the best problem solvers in the industry.

Light enhancing, heat dissipating silicones from Intertronics

Light enhancing, heat dissipating silicones from Intertronics
The increasing power and colour ranges of LEDs over recent years has led to their extended use in many outdoor lighting, signalling and indicating applications – from swimming pools to motor vehicles. This has highlighted the twin problems of heat dissipation and clarity within a protected housing. Now Intertronics are able to offer a Silicone Solution! – their range of silicone elastomers from sales partner ACC Silicones include optically clear encapsulants, a range of gels and rubbers with differing cure cycles and physical properties. Together with harder silicone elastomers they can offer a product for most LED potting applications which require non-yellowing optical clarity. In particular they can offer refractive index from 1.40 to 1.49, with an exciting new product now available at 1.53.

Simple Application, Moisture Cure and Elastic - ThreeBond's 1530 adhesive

Simple Application, Moisture Cure and Elastic - ThreeBond's 1530 adhesive
ThreeBond’s 1530 product is a one-part, non-solvent elastic adhesive whose main component is a silyl-based special polymer which reacts rapidly upon exposure to moisture in the air and cures to form a toughened elastomer with time. Since there are no solvents or plasticisers contained in the adhesive it shows excellent non-staining characteristics against all materials and is over paintable. It provides excellent weather resistance, high adhesion strength to most substrates without the need for primer pre-treatment, and is environmentally friendly due to its low odour and non-isocyanate chemistry. This makes it ideal for multi-purpose bonding of metals (aluminium, steel, stainless, copper, plastics (polyacrylate, PPO, ABS, nylon, PC, FRP, PET, PPS, PBT etc. ) as well as many, many others such as wood, glass, canvas and rubbers from chloroprene and EPDM to silicone.

ThreeBond's light cure instant adhesive sticks to the parts others find difficult - and even faster!

ThreeBond's light cure instant adhesive sticks to the parts others find difficult - and even faster!
Cyanoacrylates – “instant” adhesives are brilliant assembly products – general purpose, quick setting, simple to apply. But that general formula can be significantly improved, as the introduction of 1770 series light curing “instants” by market leaders ThreeBond has demonstrated. Light curing not only accelerates the final cure time to approximately 10 seconds ( can be up to 24 hours for full cure without light activation ) but also deals with issues such as bleaching/blooming and slow curing excess. It also aids curing in wide gaps, and by using both moisture and light cure ensures a quick thorough cure where light cure alone would be affected by obscuring non-transparent material.
