Materials & ProDucTs AIRTECH has introduced new multipurpose pressure sensitive tapes. Flashbreaker® PS1 is a high temperature/high tensile strength polyester film coated with a high tack pressure sensitive silicone adhesive for oven or autoclave cures up to 204 °C. Flashbreaker® pressure sensitive tapes are used for multi-purpose functions in metal bond and composite shops, such as holding down vacuum bagging materials, thermocouple wires, masking-off, chem-milling protection. Wrightlease 2 is a new extruded Fluoropolymer pressure sensitive tape with a silicone adhesive. Wrightlease 2 provides excellent release performance, good elongation and high gloss finish with a highly visible yellow colour. Toolwright 5 is thicker version of the same extruded Fluoropolymer film coated with silicone pressure sensitive adhesive. Supplied 122cm wide with a release backer, Toolwright 5 is ideal for covering mastermodels and moulds for permanent high quality surface release. For more information, visit: www.airtech.lu. Optically clear, low viscosity, high strength two part epoxy system from MASTER BOND. Master Bond EP30HV, a two component epoxy, features wide applicability in the electronic, electrical, computer, aerospace, automotive, optical, fiber optic, medical and chemical industries. Formulated for bonding, sealing, coating and casting applications where high strength and optical clarity are needed. EP30HV offers high light transmittance from 350-2,400 nm and has a refractive index of 1.55 at room temperature. Its enhanced electrical and thermal insulation properties include a volume resistivity over 1015 ohm-cm, a dielectric strength of 440 volts/mil and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. With a low mixed viscosity of 4,000 cps, this system is often used in small potting and encapsulation applications, especially for electronic or optical assemblies. Featuring a forgiving four to one mix ratio by weight, EP30HV is easy to handle and cures at room temperature in 24 hours or faster at elevated temperatures. This epoxy produces high strength bonds that have a tensile strength exceeding 9,000 psi and a compressive strength greater than 14,000 psi at ambient temperatures. Linear shrinkage is low at 0.0003 inches/inch. It also resists a wide variety of chemicals including water, oils, acids, bases and many solvents. Serviceable over the wide temperature range of -60°F to +300°F, EP30HV bonds well to metals, glass, ceramics, wood, rubbers, and many plastics. It is available for use in pint, quart, gallon and five gallon container kits. This two part system has a shelf life of up to one year if stored in its original, unopened containers.

WINCO, INC., a leading supplier of standard industrial machine components, announced it now offers GN 300.5 Tapped Type All Stainless Steel Adjustable Levers with stainless steel components, in inch and metric sizes. These RoHS-complaint hand levers are the result of modern industrial design, and are ideal wherever parts have to be clamped in a confined space or in a particular lever position. The handle is stainless steel with sand blasted satin finish. The insert, screw, and spring are also stainless steel. All stainless steel construction makes this lever appropriate for applications in the food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. For more information, visit: www.jwwinco.com. PARK ELECTROCHEMICAL CORP. introduces it new composite ALPHA STRUT™ (patent pending) for aerospace applications. The ALPHA STRUT, which is designed for aircraft and other aerospace medium to high load bearing applications, joins Park’s patented SIGMA STRUT™, which is designed for space and other aerospace very high load bearing applications. The ALPHA STRUT and SIGMA STRUT designs provide significant weight savings and load carrying reliability by utilizing unique end-fittings, which are co-cured into each end of the struts. This technique allows the fittings to transfer the full load through the strut body without having to rely on bond areas to carry shear loads as with typical designs. The ALPHA STRUT design has been successfully tested to over one million load cycles at load limits in both tension and compression. •Designed for aircraft and other aerospace medium to high load applications w Tie Rods w Push/Pull Control Rods w Bracing w Truss Structures w Bulkheads •Benefits Include: w High Reliability n Proprietary End-Fitting Design w Light Weight n Carbon Fiber Composite Materials w Custom Designs tailored to Specified Loads, Lengths and Fitting Requirements For more information, visit: www.parkelectro.com. 3M™ Wrap Film Series 1080 from 3M COMMERCIAL GRAPHICS just keeps getting better, with five new colors to help users make their vehicles anything but ordinary. Film series 1080 is now offered in a total of 50 finish, texture and color variations, empowering customers to achieve distinctive looks and maximize their creativity.
