PRESS RELEASE
Abbotsford, BC
April 17, 2009
Integra Adhesives Inc is pleased to announce newly designed Static Mixing Tips and Cartridges-exclusive to Integra Adhesives Inc and made in North America. These new components will provide improved adhesive performance today and ensure cost stability and supply for the future.
Until now, over 95% of the components used in Meter Mix Dispense systems for the surfacing industry were produced by offshore suppliers.
Integra’s new 250ml Adhesive Cartridges and Bayonet Mixer Tips “with Wings” are the first of their kind to be made in North America and are sold exclusively by Integra Adhesives and their distribution network partners. The 250ml cartridge body is molded from impact resistant Nylon 6 to eliminate freight damage or breakage in shop use and has the added feature of being recyclable in most jurisdictions. Glass fiber reinforced polymers strengthen the cartridge to reduce sidewall flex and improve cure performance. In addition, the coaxial outlet places the Activator in the centre of the adhesive stream to pre-blend components prior to static mixing.
“These strategic moves will ensure our customers have continued access to quality components at competitive prices”, said Chad Thomas, Integra’s Inside Sales Manager. “As the manufacturer of these components, we now have the ability to work directly on product development and have recently demonstrated this new response capacity with the addition of “wings” on the new tips to allow easier attachment and removal.”
The Static Mixing Tip is specifically designed to work with the viscosities of Integra’s complete range of high performance seaming, laminating and accessorial adhesives. The “Quick Lock” attachment method provides a secure seal and eliminates the need for a screw cap. The spiral mixing element reduces back pressure resulting in even cures and easy flow.
