3M™ Aerosol Adhesives Overview

by admin on March 6, 2013

Aerosol adhesives offer a wide range of performance and application characteristics. Most 3M aerosol adhesives also have a controlled spray pattern to help minimize overspray, clean up and unused adhesive. These adhesives contain no methylene chloride, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), or 1,1,1-trichlorethane (methyl chloroform).

3M™ Extreme Sealing Tape is a family of single coated, pressure sensitive adhesive tapes designed for difficult sealing applications. The backing on this tape is an ionomer film that is very tough yet flexible and abrasion resistant. The very soft and thick acrylic adhesive has excellent sealing properties and good outdoor durability. This single coated tape is designed to seal over an existing joint, seam, or penetration. The adhesive is designed to adhere well to the ionomer film so that overlapping layers of this tape can be used while maintaining a strong seal.

Here is a great video showing some of the many uses off Loctite (Henkel) Products. BTW don”t call direct, use us and support local businesses.

New branding architecture for the Henkel adhesive technologies business serving industrial markets
Henkel will introduce a new branding approach for its industrial adhesive technologies business. The company’s brand portfolio has grown strongly over the past decades and has enabled Henkel to become the global market leader in adhesives, sealants and surface treatments. To improve the navigation through the brand portfolio, Henkel will now re-group its industrial business for adhesive technologies under five technology cluster brands, each of which will represent a cluster of specific technologies and applications.

In addition to organic growth, Henkel has made numerous acquisitions over the past years. With this, Henkel has been able to provide its customers with high-quality service and a multitude of solutions. However, as Henkel has retained a large number of product names and brands, the offer of industrial adhesive technologies has become quite complex. This was confirmed by a recent customer survey.

Therefore, Henkel has decided to introduce a new branding approach that will align the portfolio under five brands. All products will be re-grouped under five technology cluster brands. Each of them will represent a cluster of specific technologies:

• Henkel’s LOCTITE® is the trusted choice for engineered, high performance adhesive, sealant and coating solutions.
• Henkel’s BONDERITE® products represent the surface technology solutions that create competitive advantage in the customers’ manufacturing processes.
• Henkel’s TECHNOMELT® is the leading choice for hot melt adhesives designed for best results in the customers’ applications and production processes.
• Henkel’s TEROSON® is the driving brand for bonding, sealing, coating and reinforcing in automotive body and vehicle repair & maintenance (VRM) applications.
• Henkel’s AQUENCE® is the innovative, sustainable water-based adhesive solution.

“As the global leader in adhesives, sealants and surface technologies, we are committed to delivering a portfolio that our customers can navigate more intuitively,” said Jan-Dirk Auris, head of Henkel’s adhesives business. “In addition, this aligned structure will enable Henkel to provide optimized customer service and technology solutions more quickly in the future.”

Henkel operates worldwide with leading brands and technologies in three business areas: Laundry & Home Care, Beauty Care and Adhesive Technologies. Founded in 1876, Henkel holds globally leading market positions both in the consumer and industrial businesses with well-known brands such as Persil, Schwarzkopf and Loctite. Henkel employs about 47,000 people and reported sales of 15,605 million euros and adjusted operating profit of 2,029 million euros in fiscal 2011. Henkel’s preferred shares are listed in the German stock index DAX.

Loctite  announces the launch of a new range of instant adhesives in a new and improved formula.

The new range of instant adhesives is the result of Henkel’s commitment to develop and deliver innovative products required by industrial customers in today’s competitive environment.

Offering higher temperature and humidity resistance, Loctite instant adhesives can reliably bond almost any combination of materials in seconds. The new formulation is suited to a wider range of industrial applications.

General Purpose, Universal (401, 406, 454) instant adhesives:

Featuring an improved formulation, the general purpose adhesives can resist temperatures up to 120°C against the previous service temperature limit of 80°C. The fast fixture speed makes the general purpose adhesives particularly suited for bonding a wide variety of materials including metals, plastics, elastomers, paper, leather, cork, fabric, wood and chromate plated parts. The adhesives also enjoy a fast cure even in challenging environments.

Low Odour/ Low Bloom (403, 408, 460) instant adhesives:

Developed for aesthetically pleasing results, the low bloom range allows for a neat finish with reduced white residue ‘blooming’ or ‘frosting’. The low odour enhances user comfort during usage in confined spaces or areas with low air flow. The adhesives are resistant up to 100°C with high moisture resistance.

Golden Boys: Henkel Athletes Win Big at X Games Aspen 2013
At X Games Aspen 2013, Henkel-sponsored athletes Levi LaVallee and “Monster” Mike Schultz struck gold in dramatic fashion. Not once. Not twice. But three times. For both extreme athletes, Loctite® adhesives and sealants played critical roles in keeping their snowmobiles in top performance shape and their bodies safe and strong through the physical demands of competition.

In a sensational race, two-time defending Snowmobile Snocross Adaptive gold medalist “Monster” Mike Schultz rallied to win his third consecutive gold medal. In an untimely practice run, Schultz crashed just 15 minutes before the Snocross Adaptive event was set to begin. His snowmobile sustained damage to its frame and was hastily fixed for race time. When his sled was struck from behind and flipped going into the first turn, most spectators thought he was out of the competition. But Schultz, an above-the-knee amputee and inventor of the Moto Knee (a high impact, high flexion, multi-sport prosthetic knee joint), latched the sled’s body panels back on, remounted, and launched his comeback from last place. With just a half a lap to go, Schultz took over the lead and held it to the finish line.

“This stands out as one of the best races of my career,” said Schultz. “I barely got the sled put back together in time for the race after my gnarly practice crash. I made sure I had a layer of Loctite® Threadlocker on all my nuts and bolts so my sled and my leg would stay together. Next the flag flew, I started the race, crashed in the turn, got back on and put my head down to charge as fast as I possibly could. And I came back to win. Crazy things happen in snocross racing!”

In another powerful showing, pro snocross racer and freestyle rider Levi LaVallee defied gravity on his snowmobile, flipping high in the air to earn two gold medals. In the Snowmobile Freestyle event, he completed nine jumps in 75 seconds and nailed huge extensions and perfect landings on a no-hands backflip, a no-feet backflip and a backflip with his hands on the handlebars, but feet off and fully extended to his back bumper. For LaVallee’s second gold in the Snowmobile Speed and Style — a combination of snocross and freestyle, he landed a Kiss-of-Death flip and a Cordova flip. To control his sled and launch solid extensions during flips, LaVallee maintained a death-grip on the sled’s handlebars.

“If your handlebars rotate forward or back, even just a little after you’ve clamped them as tight as you can, you can be in major trouble,” explained LaVallee. “Earlier this year, I asked Henkel if they could help me stop my handlebars from moving. They suggested using retaining compounds and primers to lock the bars in place. I haven’t had an issue with movement since. Loctite® is good as gold.”
