Structural adhesives range gets the gong

Scott Bader reports that it has won this years' Innovation in Materials' Industry Award from the Composite UK Trade Association for its fast curing, primerless Crestabond MMA structural adhesives range.
The case study submitted to the Composites UK wards panel to demonstrate a current successful use of Crestabond is the applications specified by New World Doors, which has made cycle time reductions of 25% and cost savings while improving build quality, by switching to Crestabond.
For some time now, Crestabond M1-05 has been incorporated by New Word Doors as a key part of the production process and build specification for its range of interior and exterior UPVC/GRP composite doors and windows. The unique properties of Crestabond enable the bonding of various UPVC and GRP sections with minimal surface preparation, while also enabling New World to use only a single adhesive throughout the whole assembly process; Crestabond M1-05 bonds a number of different substrates used in the construction of the various ranges of composite doors and windows.
The combined urethane acrylate/MMA adhesive technology makes Crestabond a universally suitable primerless structural adhesive for bonding thin and thick bond lines, which is novel for such a fast curing adhesive material. With virtually no surface preparation needed, Crestabond can rapidly and cost effectively bond composites together, as well as bonding composites to metals and other substrates.
