Henkel’s new corrosion-resistant coating
components, appliances, cookware and
a variety of other industrial parts
exposed to moisture, fuel, oil and other
environmental contaminants.
Alodine EC2 offers a hardness of 800 vickers, yet is extremely flexible. The coating provides
an excellent base for paints, adhesives, sealants and thermal spray coatings. With this
product, traditional cleaning and shot blast preparation are no longer required prior to thermal spray application.
For light metal substrates, Henkel
Corporation has developed a multifunctional base coating, Alodine EC2
ElectroCeramic Coating, designed to
provide chemical, corrosion, temperature and abrasion resistance while
reducing parts processing costs. This
high temperature resistant coating is
designed to extend the life of parts
exposed to harsh operating conditions,
delivering titanium ceramic toughness
and durability on lower cost substrates.
Based on titanium electrodeposited
oxides, Alodine EC2 readily coats aluminum, aluminum alloys, titanium and
titanium alloys, as well as aluminized,
aluminum-plated and IVD aluminum
substrate. The coating is also suitable
for aluminized ferrous materials. This
base coating can improve the corrosion
resistance and performance of marine
engines, automotive powertrain and
POWER ADHESIVES INTRODUCES
THE VAC-TAC ADHESIVE SYSTEM
Power Adhesives introduces the VAC-TAC adhesive system for a faster, safer,
solvent-free adhesive system for composite companies utilizing vacuum infusion
technology. Compared to traditional
aerosol adhesive systems commonly
used in the vacuum infusion process, the
VAC-TAC System is more economical
and helps composite companies lower
VOC output, according to the company.
The system is ideal for securing and
positioning reinforcement materials and
is said to overcome traditional problems
usually associated with aerosol adhesive
systems. The VAC-TAC system allows
building the composite structures faster
than alternative methods to save time
and reduce production costs. Since the
system is solvent-free, health and safety
issues are also eliminated.
The VAC-TEC system consists of Powder
Adhesives TEC 6300 spray hot melt glue
gun, 20 feet of hose and the VAC-TAC
adhesive in a hot melt cartridge form.
