[ Add my news item ] "adhere" launches premier cyanoacrylate "instant" adhesive Intertronics are pleased to announce a significant new range of
professional grade cyanoacrylate instant adhesives under theiradhere  brand - superior quality, high purity single part adhesives whichhave
numerous applications in all aspects of high technology, highperformance assembly. Curing at room temperature in seconds, they provideexcellent
bond strength on a wide range of similar and dissimilar substrates including rubber, plastics, metal, wood, leather, ceramics,ferrites,
stone, cork, glass, composites and paper. The range includessurface-  insensitive, fast cure and low odour, low blooming formulations.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives (CAs) are known generically assuperglues or instant adhesives and are extensively used in all manner of
industrial applications, but often little understood and may be of extremely variable quality.

adhere brand manager Peter Swanson noted that many users were notaware of the importance of matching the adhesive variants to substrate,gap
size or surface activation energy for best results. Explains Peter, Our adhere brand is based on an offering of the very bestin
advice, service and quality products, but even so we were surprisedto find such a gap in what at first appears to be a fully servicedmarket.

adhere cyanoacrylate single component systems are fast and easyto use, requiring no mixing or heating, and parts being bonded do not need
clamping. They are solvent free. They achieve high tensile andshear strengths. Their high quality formulation and manufacture ensures
excellent manufacturing repeatability and high stability -facilitating long shelf life for highly efficient production line use. The range
includes a rubber toughened flexible formulation, an activatorfor even faster cures, and a primer which facilitates bonding of difficultto bond
plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene or silicone rubber -even PTFE.

Says Peter, While cyanoacrylates are ubiquitous adhesives webelieve they are often taken for granted. It is our aim to raise-the-gameof
instant adhesives in manufacturing processes. To this end adherebrand personnel are also strongly focused on dispensing technologies,whether
through 20 or 50 gram integral pin cap HDPE bottles or 500 grambottles for pressure pot and automated application. adhere benefits inthis
respect from the complete range of compatible automatic,semi-automatic and manual dispensing systems available in-house from Intertronics.
