Scott Bader at JEC EU: to Unveil Crestabond M1-04 Adhesive & Show POLY-FAIR Tooling Range

At the forthcoming JEC Europe 2014 Composites Show in Paris on 11-13 March, Scott Bader will be exhibiting (stand D32) and launching Crestabond M1-04, adding a rapid bond grade to the range of primer-less methacrylate structural adhesives, with a fixture time of only 8-10 minutes. Crestabond M1-04 offers assemblers a reduction of over 40% in the maximum fixture time when compared to the existing Crestabond M1-05 grade, with no loss of bonding performance properties.

For the first time, the recently expanded global group of Scott Bader companies and manufacturing plants located in Europe, the Middle East, India, Canada and South America will also be exhibiting together on the same stand at JEC Europe 2014, and promoting the former ATC Formulated Polymers range of products from Canada which are now fully incorporated into the European range.

Crestabond M1-04 Rapid Bond

Crestabond M1-04 has been developed by Scott Bader to significantly increase production efficiencies for high volume parts assembly. With no requirement for a substrate primer and a working time of only 3-4 minutes, assembled parts bonded with Crestabond M1-04 can be moved on to the next stage of production in as little as 8 minutes. According to Scott Bader test data, Crestabond M1-04 will effectively bond composites, plastics, ABS, aluminium, stainless steel and many other substrates commonly used in industrial applications. This new rapid bond Crestabond grade is expected to be of particular interest to automotive OEMs and tier one and tier two suppliers due to its high elongation and toughness, its productivity benefits and its reliable long-term adhesion performance. Information on the complete ranges of Crystic Crestomer urethane acrylate and Crestabond methacrylate 10:1 and 1:1 ratio structural adhesives offered by Scott Bader, as well as application case studies, will also be available at the show.
