Smart Adhesives
Bostik will reveal its adhesive solutions to bond and repair composite parts, with a focus on its structural adhesives MMA SAF&FIT and Pliogrip™ range of 2K polyurethane and epoxy structural adhesives, Born2Bond™ Instant adhesives, and SMP sealants.
Bostik will also present its low-profile additives (LPA) to improve the intrinsic properties of composite materials, such as their chemical, thermal and mechanical resistance in Sheet Molding and Bulk Molding Compound (SMC, BMC).
Reinforce System Toughness
New Clearstrength® MBS core-shell toughening agents offer extensive formulation versatility. Clearstrength® E980 has improved dispersion properties while high-performance Clearstrength® XT152 is designed for lower polarity (meth)acrylic monomers and hydrophobic resins.
Sartomer® reactive diluents, crosslinkers and binders reduce VOCs and improve mechanical properties in thermoset, thermoplastic and bio composites. The offering includes bio-based options with more than 25% bio-content.
