Materials
3M Bonding Systems, Booth 1237. Structural plastic
adhesive. 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Plastic Adhesive DP-8005 is a versatile adhesive
that bonds many low surface energy plastics to themselves and many other plastics, steel,
aluminum, concrete, glass and wood. After reaching full cure strength, it has a bond line
strength often greater than the strength of the substrate. The adhesive has up to a three
minute open time allowing easy positioning and repositioning on multiple or large
components.
Apple Rubber Products Inc, Booth 1768. Interactive
seal design. This seal and sealing device manufacturer will display information on its
new interactive seal design guide now available on the Internet. Users may access the
design guide on Apple Rubber's website free of charge after a one time, simple
registration process. Highlights include formulas for determining maximum and minimum
O-ring cross section, maximum O-ring volume and more. 
CeramTec North America, Booth 963. Technical
ceramics. This company will provide information on its capability to manufacture a
broad line of ceramic products and components in volume for industry. The facility offers
more than 90 years of materials expertise in alumina, titania, zirconia, toughened
alumina, steatite, cordierite and lava. Processing technologies include formulating, spray
drying, mixing, milling, extrusion, dry pressing, tape casting, isostatic pressing,
drying, firing, sintering, cutting, grinding, lapping and more. 
E-A-R Specialty Composites, Booth 2034. Damping and
isolation materials. This company offers vibration- and shock-isolation thermoplastic
elastomer materials whose formulations can be adjusted to optimize damping performance or
durometer or both. The VersaDamp 2000 Series of damped TPE materials eliminates the need
to make tradeoffs in damping and operating temperature range. They feature durometers
ranging from 40 Shore A to 75 Shore A, and have widely varying energy control
capabilities. 
Cooper-Standard Automotive, Booth 2753. Corrugated
tubing. This company will display an extensive line of high-performance corrugated
tubing. StanPro corrugated tubing is an ideal replacement for conventional rubber tubing,
providing extremely economical non-kinking flexibility and durability rubber cannot match.
It offers many important in-use advantages and structural design benefits. For example, it
provides structural rigidity; crush, impact and abrasion resistance; and resistance to
most chemicals. 
Weko Industrial Component Corp, Booth 643. Investment
casting and machined parts. This company will display its capabilities as a Taiwanese
engineering partner. It guarantees: A test run record for each part; Part ID card for each
part, Chemical test for each melt; Melt by melt handling till heat treatment; All parts
100% pass 3 inspection gates; Quality Batch no. marking and record management; High
precision and small run manufacturing; and Engineering and QA departments.
Lauren Manufacturing, Booth 2629. Clip-on seals. These
highly engineered clip-on seals feature rubber-encapsulated wire for easy application and
superior flexibility, excellent compression set resistance, as well as weather-resistant,
high-quality compounds designed for OEM automotive door sealing systems. The seals are
designed to easily clip on to exposed edges without adhesives, screws or rivets, and have
a wide variety of applications. 
Micro Surface Corporation, Booth 2550. New coatings.
This firm will display three new products. Nicklon Plus is an ultra release
coating for plastics, packaging and food processing applications. It allows nothing to
stick to it, and has excellent chemical and corrosion resistance with a hardness of 58Rc. Codiac
is a diamond and nickel combination designed to out-perform carbide in abrasive
applications. Cardiac 2000 receives an excellent rating for wear and release in
glass-filled resins applications. 
Minnesota Rubber, Booth 2029. Molded rubber bumpers.
This company will exhibit its specially-designed molded rubber bumpers used in a new
multi-axial TruStep foot prosthesis. The SBR rubber blend provides greater part durability
to the artificial foot's front bumper, which performs as a replacement for muscles,
tendons and cartilage. The objective for the new part design and material was superior
resistance and better bounce back while producing a softer natural feel.
