Simalfa, a water–based adhesive supplier with headquarters in Hawthorne, N.J., has introduced On–Demand, a new innovation in adhesive systems that the company says offers the benefits of both a one– and two–part adhesive in a single system.
On–Demand allows the operator to use his existing Simalfa product as a one–part adhesive or in combination with Simalfa Accelerator, boosting the instant bond for high–stress applications via a push–button trigger.
“This is a quantum leap from a system standpoint,” said Darren Gilmore, Simalfa president and chief executive officer. “We’ve rendered traditional two–component adhesive systems obsolete. The existing two–part technologies are temperamental, complicated, maintenance intensive and force clients into using the system as a two–part component all the time, even in areas where a one–part would do the job. On–Demand gives the operator production flexibility while saving the customer money.”
According to the company, the patent–pending On–Demand system has been designed as an easy add–on to its gravity, pressurized and pump systems and doesn’t require the mixing equipment associated with two–component products. In addition, the flexibility of simple push–button control allows customers to reduce adhesive usage and labor.
