Henkel development secures more adhesives
Continuous development of both adhesive technologies and methods of application have resulted in several new additions to the Henkel range, which will be showcased at Northern Manufacturing 2015.
The flexible, instant adhesive, Loctite 4902 offers elongation of up to 155% and provides a high-strength bond in seconds. It can be used on plastics, rubber, metals and other substrates and is ISO 10993 biocompatible making it suitable for bonding disposable medical devices. Another development is Loctite 4090. This epoxy cyanoacrylate hybrid combines the handling speed of a cyanoacrylate adhesive with the toughness and durability of an epoxy adhesive.
The Technomelt range of low pressure moulding, hotmelt adhesives has also been expanded. New formulations are now available that are UV-stabilised, clear and chemical-resistant. They address the demanding encapsulation requirements including all types of sensors, automotive products, new lighting designs and medical devices.
Visitors will also see the latest dispensing equipment development. The Jet Valve system enables bubble-free dispensing at up to 300 drops/second. Droplets can be as small as 0.3mm depending on the adhesive used.
