Elastomers are the key to providing effective sealing solutions for applications in outdoor, marine, medical and any environment where sealing stuff in, or sealing stuff out, is imperative. Elastomers are versatile materials typically composed of polymers, and manufacturers prize them for their ability to bend and stretch in a variety of ways before returning to their original shape. However, n...

The ‘dam and fill’ process with two materials is mainly used in cases where a component needs to be protected with an optically transparent encapsulant or if a conventional glob-top material is too viscous to flow around and underneath fine wires. Optically transparent encapsulants usually have a low viscosity. A dam is therefore applied around the component first to prevent the potting materia...

The NEW LOXEAL AC5465, 2K acrylic adhesive is specifically designed to bond Polyolefins and substrates with low surface energy (PP, PE, HDPE, LDPE, PTFE) among them, to other plastics like ABS and PVC and to metals, leather and wood as well. The new LOXEAL AC5465, thanks to its physical features, allows to design 0-gap joints and to bond substrates with extremely small gaps. Its application on...
