Insights & Solutions in Adhesive Tapes, Soundproofing and Sealants

The commitment of significant resources is required to pull back the curtain and reveal how thermal and acoustic events behave inside buildings. In turn, manufacturers have an intimate understanding of just how the air flows and sound propagates within a structure. Open cell and closed cell polyurethane compounds are the spray-in-place formulation of choice here,…

Environmental responsibility drives a newly ascendant market, one that conscientiously provides state-of-the-art products and space-age materials. The products satisfy stringent eco-regulations, of course, and they satisfy a specific function, that of economically insulating a room or entire home, but features must also meet form. In other words, the exhaustively tested products must add value in…

On speeding past the carefully listed features of an insulating product, we miss out on the multiple attributes of the material, perhaps even condemning the product with binary-like qualities. The word insulating is then wrongly interpreted as stopping heat from escaping or preventing sound from travelling, but a multipurpose insulating foam sealant provides an inviolable…

If the relationship between pipes, engine manifolds, and all other eccentrically shaped surfaces was entirely static, gasket design would be a simple task. Unfortunately, as with the majority of issues found in engineering, these junction points dynamically generate irregular forces. Heat causes a pipe to expand and then contract. The gasket loses uniform contact and…

The shipping of glass merchandise confounds many logistically-minded department heads. Glass windows, for instance, are manufactured for contemporary office complexes as huge panels, and hundreds of these panels have to be shipped in order to complete the honeycombed front of just one of these skyscraping buildings. Commonly available in the sand beneath our feet, this…

The Super Glue trademark engenders an image of a miraculous liquid, a deceptively powerful fluid that can join any material to any other material. Fast to harden and capable of retaining that hold when heavy forces come into play, super glue and its many equally proficient cousins boasts a repertoire of hundreds of applications. Here’s…

Tape characteristics are guided by application needs and usage domains, the function of the product and where it’s being brought into service. And, in turn, it’s these needs that dictate the properties of the tape, its tackiness, thickness and width, the strength and composition of the backing layer, and a page full of other engineered…

A comprehensive series of engineering solutions cover applications for engineering products related to sealants and adhesives for gasketing purposes. The gasket mates and mechanically seals, using flanges and dense fasteners to secure a bond, but it’s an economical bond, one that functions well enough when compressed but also one that lacks fortified stability. A flaw…

Determined external influences pick at the outer surfaces of your property in search of weak spots. Pests are looking for a way in. Heavy rain is taxing the structure and weakening exposed surfaces. You resolve these issues by selecting quality materials and reinforcing the shell-like skin of the structure. The case should be closed and…

Sealants cover a wide spectrum of applications, broadening their features to provide tailored solutions for domestic scenarios and industrial applications alike. In weighing a product that delivers an adequate mechanical seal, its chemical structure has to be quantified in relation to the transmission medium. In the case of a home, the conducting agent is a…
