MORE STRENGTH, LESS STENCH

Adhesives giant 3M, has announced the launch of its new Scotch-Weld low odour acrylic adhesives, purchasable now from Ellsworth Adhesives.
The Scotch-Weld low odour acrylic adhesives range has been branded the next generation of structural acrylic adhesives owing to the significant benefits it offers over traditional acrylic adhesives, Ellsworth claims.
Conventional acrylic adhesives typically suffer from a strong, unpleasant odour, but not this new range from 3M. The new Scotch-Weld DP8805NS and DP8810NS have been specially formulated to lessen the pungent odour and provide excellent structural bonding without the stench, the company suggests.
Another clear benefit of the new adhesive range is the fast cure time. Too often, a lengthy curing period is required to achieve structural strength, however the new 3M low odour acrylic adhesives offer an incredibly quick cure rate – reaching structural strength in just nine minutes – less than half of the time taken by standard acrylic adhesives.
The adhesives also boast improved adhesion and impact resistance on plastics and metals, as well as excellent shear and feel performance. This feature has expanded the range of applications for which these adhesives can be used, with the new range providing solutions for transportation, metal working, composites, sign manufacturing and many more industries.
There is apparently a considerable cost saving to the user thanks to the product's 18 month shelf life, long nozzle life and room temperature storage meaning no refrigeration costs.
