IPS Adhesives, a global manufacturer of structural and surfacing products, has acquired a range of adhesives based on acrylate and Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) technology from global sealing company L&L Products.
IPS Adhesives will rebrand the former L&L product numbers A-K321 and A-K322 as SCIGRIP® products and they will continue to be available in Europe, with reduced lead times in the coming months.
While L&L Products demonstrated significant technical success in developing advanced acrylate/MMA formulations, this acquisition enables L&L to focus on the development and commercialisation of unique adhesives, sealants, reinforcements and acoustic technologies that provide innovative problem solving solutions for the automotive and transportation markets, as well as diversifying its business to enter new markets.
Scott McDowell, president at IPS Adhesives underlines: “This acquisition accelerates our ability to create and deliver even more high performance solutions to our customers across Europe and North America. We’re passionate about enabling customers to bond in new ways, as demonstrated by our recent launch of a groundbreaking low surface energy adhesive. The combination of our technical expertise with L&L’s current MMA portfolio and pipeline products further enhances our ability to solve problems and innovate for customers.”
