DELO
High-Temperature-Resistant Structural Adhesive
DELO MONOPOX HT2999 is a structural adhesive that reportedly offers high-temperature stability. According to the company, the product achieves compression shear strength of 20 MPa at 180°C.
Developed primarily for use in the automotive industry and mechanical engineering, these high-temperature-resistant adhesives are reportedly in demand for use with electric motors and power electronics. According to the company, many products that are currently on the market show a clear drop in performance at temperatures above 150°C. DELO reports that its new structural adhesive can be used above that temperature.
ELLSWORTH ADHESIVES EUROPE
Multilingual Website
A new multilingual website helps ensure that customers in Europe can access the company’s platform in their native language. Ensuring it retains familiarity with the customer base, the new European website has the same look and features as the main UK site.
Users are greeted with a language selector on the homepage that enables them to pick from nine different languages. Each page on the site is then translated into the chosen language. If the user wishes to change to a different language at any point, they can do so using a simple drop-down selector.
ENGINEERED POLYMER SOLUTIONS (EPS)
Resin for Soft-Peel Protective Film
EPS® 2157 is a resin for protective films used in appliances, doors, and glass, as well as any application where protective masking is required. EPS 2157 is an all-acrylic polymer emulsion for use in removable pressure-sensitive adhesive applications.
Ideal for film and tape market segments, this product reportedly exhibits moderate peel and tack with high shear values. The company reports that EPS 2157 distinguishes itself from other resins in this space, offering a “soft” peel as compared to other products with equivalent peel and tack that have a harder “zip-like” peel.
BYK
Additive Guide App
This company has transformed its Additive Guide into a user-friendly and informative app featuring new technology and enhanced functionalities. Analogous to the company’s website, the app recommends products based on numerous filter options in multiple application fields.
Users can also find comprehensive product information and tag favorites. Data sheets for each product are available for download and can be consulted offline. In addition, the app enables users to search using only the number of an additive (e.g., 190 for DISPERBYK-190). New products are labeled accordingly.
DYNATROL
Liquid Level Switch
The Dynatrol® Teflon®-coated liquid level switch, CL‐10GH, is the latest addition to the company’s line of high, intermediate, and low point level detectors for liquids or slurries. Applications include automotive coatings, powder slurry, paint/pigments slurries, fillers and extenders, gums, thickeners, starches, stabilizers, and polymers. According to the company, the detector provides rugged construction with a sensitive transmission of vibration energy.
Pairing the new level switch with the Dynatrol EC-501A(G) control unit reportedly increases stability by eliminating the variances of direct input power. The CL-10GH liquid level switch has no moving parts, floats, diaphragms, or packing glands to deteriorate.
