1. Anaerobic Adhesives - Very high performance, single component engineering adhesives that cure in the absence of air and in the presence of metal parts. Anaerobic adhesives are available in a wide range of strengths and viscosities. The products are separated into application categories and include threadlocking, gasket making, retaining and pipe sealants.
2. Cyanoacrylate Adhesives - Manufactured to a very high specification, Cyanoacrylate is a single component adhesive and cures in relation to moisture found on surfaces. Generally known as superglues, Cyanoacrylate can bond a wide range of materials like rubber, ceramics, woods, plastics and metal.
The Cyanoacrylate range must meet a number of precise bonding guidelines. These are that they should be high temperature resistant, toughened for rubber, have a low odour level, capable of bonding metals and be low bloom.
3. UV Curing Adhesives - Created to be high performing, these are a single component adhesive. They are designed to cure when subjected to ultra violet lighting. They can cure very quickly, often within seconds to create an invisible bond line and become very strong. Ultra violet adhesives will bond most types of glass, plastic and metal substrates when there is a minimum of 1 surface that lets penetration of ultra violet light.
Ultra violet curing adhesives are offered in a variety of viscosities, they have curling properties which allows for a wide range of applications. Normal applications can be the bonding of glass, devices used in the medical profession and electronic potting.
4. Structural Adhesives and High Temperature Sealants - Structural adhesives provide a new range of application specific products that perfectly compliment the existing 3M structural adhesives portfolio.
Silver loaded epoxy adhesive is designed to produce electronically conductive bonds and is ideal for a wide range of electrical and electronic applications. Two part epoxy putty is ideal for MRO applications such as the emergency repair of pipes, tanks and castings. SA30 is a two part no-mix acrylic adhesive that offers handling strength in about 90 seconds and can be used on most plastics. This is ideal for the signage market. You can also get a high temperature silicone sealant capable of bonding at up to 260 degrees C.
