SCIGRIP at JEC Europe: to Launch Enhanced MMA Adhesive for Marine Industry

Washington ? SCIGRIP (Stand N69) a global supplier of smart adhesive solutions, will be launching an enhanced methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesive in the Spring of 2014 and introducing this concept at JEC Europe 2014 that reduces Bond Line Read Through (BLRT) in composites components.

The new product allows customers a greater selection of materials to work with and permits thinner substrates to be bonded without unsightly read through lines and distortions on the outer skin of the part. It will appeal to manufacturers of composite structures in the marine and transport markets looking to improve the aesthetics of their components whilst optimising their design, production speeds and costs.

An enhanced development of the market leading low-exotherm adhesive SG230HV, this latest product innovation from SCIGRIP demonstrates low heat distortion, low chemical shrinkage, fast controllable cure speeds and continues providing the excellent surface adhesion that reduces the need for dusty mechanical grinding or peel-ply processes in assembly.

Mark Rogan, European Sales and Marketing Manager remarks, "This latest addition to our product portfolio illustrates another breakthrough in MMA technologies. We are committed to building on the depth and breadth of SCIGRIPs capabilities to help manufacturers by offering the most advanced adhesive chemistries available". SCIGRIP will also be introducing at JEC 2014 a specialist range of engineering adhesives, further expanding its technology offering to the composites industry.
