adhere launches premier cyanoacrylate instant adhesive

Intertronics are pleased to announce a significant new range of professional grade cyanoacrylate “instant” adhesives under their “adhere” brand - 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 substrates including rubber, plastics, metal, wood, leather, ceramics, ferrites, stone, cork, glass, composites and paper. The range includes surface-insensitive, fast cure and low odour, low blooming formulations. Cyanoacrylate adhesives (CA’s) are known generically as “superglues” or “instant adhesives” and are extensively used in all manner of industrial applications, but often little understood and may be of extremely variable quality.

“adhere” brand manager Peter Swanson noted that many users were not aware of the importance of matching the adhesive variants to substrate, gap size or surface activation energy for best results. Explains Peter, “Our “adhere” brand is based on an offering of the very best in advice, service and quality products, but even so we were surprised to find such a gap in what at first appears to be a fully serviced market.”

“adhere” cyanoacrylate single component systems are fast and easy to use, requiring no mixing or heating, and parts being bonded do not need clamping. They are solvent free. They achieve high tensile and shear strengths. Their high quality formulation and manufacture ensures excellent manufacturing repeatability and high stability - facilitating long shelf life for highly efficient production line use. The range includes a rubber toughened “flexible formulation”, an activator for even faster cures, and a primer which facilitates bonding of difficult to bond plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene or silicone rubber - even PTFE.

Says Peter, “While cyanoacrylates are ubiquitous adhesives we believe they are often taken for granted. It is our aim to raise-the-game of instant adhesives in manufacturing processes.” To this end “adhere” brand personnel are also strongly focused on dispensing technologies, whether through 20 or 50 gram integral pin cap HDPE bottles or 500 gram bottles for pressure pot and automated application. “adhere” benefits in this respect from the complete range of compatible automatic, semi-automatic and manual dispensing systems available in-house from Intertronics.
