![]() How do I prevent white powdery residue when using instant adhesives?Frosting – Blooming – Chlorosis – Whatever you call it, we all recognize it as the unattractive white stuff that can sometimes occur when using instant adhesives. The residue is a byproduct of the cure process of the adhesive. Once the monomer is in vapor form, it will react with moisture in the air, cure, and settle on the surface around the bond area. The short answer to how to prevent blooming or frosting is “fast cure”, or, choose one of the specialty low blooming cyanoacrylate formulations. ![]() Help! I’ve got air in the bond line!The troubleshooting process begins with a thorough knowledge of the processes leading up to, and including, the application of the adhesive. There are many possible causes for failure of bonded components. Before suspecting air in the bond line as the source of failure, double check the adhesive selection, the application process and the working environment. Make any necessary corrections ![]() How do I achieve desired threadlocker and pipesealant strength?There are two main things to consider when troubleshooting a threaded adhesive application that isn’t performing to specs. 1. Correct Adhesive Selection, 2. Proper Adhesive Application. First, check the manufacturer’s technical data sheet and compare the relevant properties to the specifications from your engineering or design group. ![]() Chemicals used with Industrial Adhesives – What are they and what do they do?Primers, Cleaners, Etchants, Initiators, Activators, Accelerators and Surface Conditioners are all examples of different chemicals that are used in conjunction with some adhesive applications in order to achieve desired results. The requirements of the process will guide the selection of the appropriate chemical. In some cases the substrates must be primed, in other instances the adhesive cure is triggered with an activator. ![]() Understanding climate factors related to choosing an adhesiveAdhesive properties can be affected by temperature and humidity in both the cured and uncured state, so it is important to establish proper storage and to manage the work environment. Every country in the world undergoes seasonal changes, some more extreme in range than others. Global transportation methods encounter changes in environment as well. The result is variable and inconsistent levels of heat and humidity which, in most cases. ![]() Permabond Expands Magnet Bonding Adhesive LineSOMERSET, NJ –Permabond® Engineering Adhesives introduces Permabond TA459 for magnet bonding. TA459 used with Initiator 43 is non-corrosive to copper and other electrically conductive surfaces, providing fast durable bonds to magnets and metals. The non-corrosive nature makes the product ideal for enclosed motors. This high viscosity gel is easy to dispense. ![]() Energy - Reduce costs of gas line repair by not having to destroy the pavementIf you work with an industrial work and repair crew that does a lot of city work, there are a couple of things you can do to win more contracts than the competition: Get better results, If you don’t get great results, you’re probably not going to get as much return business, that’s economics 101. But let’s be honest, this is the city government we’re talking about, here. ![]() Permabond Sealant Approved for use in Oxygen Delivery SystemsSOMERSET, NJ –Permabond® Engineering Adhesives MH052 has BAM approval for use with gaseous oxygen up to 10 bar (145 psi) and 60°C (140°F). Standard anaerobic sealants cannot be used for oxygen-rich systems due to instability, which could cause fire or explosions. ![]() Design with Adhesives in MindReview your challenge with the adhesive manufacturer. Due to the uniqueness of each application, there are no design standards or safety margin limits to aid designers working with adhesives. Very often there are multiple factors which can affect a bond such as chemical exposure, stress or load, heat or time. There are no calculations to prove that the adhesive will tolerate the conditions. ![]() 5 Steps to choosing the best adhesive for your situationWith the vast array of adhesives and adhesive types available, the process of elimination is the best method to quickly narrow in on the appropriate product. Are there any certifications or qualifications the adhesive must meet? Select the correct technology for the application.
