ATC Scott Bader to Exhibit Bonding Pastes, Structural Adhesives and more at IBEX 2013

Following the acquisition of ATC Formulated Polymers Inc. back in February, the newly formed ATC Scott Bader Company is exhibiting at the 2013 International Boat Builders Exhibition & Conference (IBEX).

This year, the IBEX show runs from 17-19 September at the Kentucky Exposition Center, Louisville, USA. ATC Scott Bader will also be giving a workshop presentation and participating in a technical seminar on the first day of the show; Mark Cooper, Head of R&D is giving a first presentation at 11.00am in a workshop titled Achieving Best-In-Class Surface Finishing During Infusion Processing, and is then presenting again as one of three expert speakers in a technical seminar running from 3.30-5.00pm on the topic of Bonding to Infused Laminates.

At the ATC Scott Bader booth (# 1428) an extensive range of proven technology, marine approved specialty resins, displacement molding compounds, barriercoats, bonding pastes and structural adhesives will be promoted. The ranges of high performance products offered have been developed by ATC and Scott Bader to help boatbuilders design and cost effectively manufacture lighter, stronger and better looking composite vessels for the most demanding offshore conditions. Of particular interest to IBEX visitors will be the following specialty products:

Crestabond MMA adhesives

This year there will be a special focus on the Crestabond range of 10:1 and 1:1 ratio primer-less methacrylate structural adhesives, suitable for rapidly bonding a wide variety of composites, metals and plastics commonly used in industrial applications. They require minimal surface preparation, have excellent fatigue and impact resistance, and can be applied using manual or pneumatic guns with automated dispensing machines.
