A seminar presented by Henkel poses the question: Why choose adhesives to complement or replace conventional joining and sealing methods?
The paper will be delivered by Loctite senior technology specialist, John Dubber, and will include real-life application examples as well as manufacturers testimonies and videos. Pre-registered delegates will learn how adhesives give greater design freedom, increase product reliability and deliver overall design, production and maintenance savings.
During the seminar, the audience will hear details of the design and performance advantages of adhesive technology, which include uniform stress distribution over the entire bond face, no change in surface or structure of the joined materials, weight savings and the ability to join dissimilar materials and reduce the risk of corrosion.
The talk will last for 40 minutes and although admission is free, registration is essential. For more information and registration details are available on line by clicking this link.
Other seminars at Wednesday’s exhibition include a focused technical seminar given by adhesives specialist Intertronics’ managing director Peter Swanson.
The Art & Science of Choosing a Structural Adhesive will show delegates how to evaluate and choose the best structural adhesives for specific applications. Starting with design and working through production and processing considerations, Swanson will discuss the various factors which influence the decision, and how to develop a specification based on necessary priorities and allowable compromises.
Though there is no universal adhesive which works for everything, the seminar will equip delegates to select adhesives by understanding what questions to ask and to whom, the different types of adhesives and chemistries, weighing up performance versus manufacturability, and deciding what the bonding priorities are for their particular production process.
Kevin Henry, sales manager at Eurobond Adhesives will present a paper entitled: A practical guide to using foamed acrylic tape. The talk will give attendees the opportunity to understand how foamed acrylic adhesive tapes can offer a very realistic alternative to more traditional fixing methods, and their ability to improve performance, safety margins, speed of assembly and reduce cost in many different applications across various Industries.
Delegates will hear how foamed acrylic tapes differ from conventional products with a discussion on key features and benefits. Advice on how to gain maximum product performance will lead to considerations for selecting the right adhesive for a given application.
Remember, the exhibition and seminar is only open to pre-registered visitors. Register now to avoid disappointment.
