Applications laboratory.


This developer of rubber-to-metal bonding adhesives for the automotive and industrial markets has expanded its custom applications laboratory, said to provide customers with an easy means of integrating new adhesives and developing new products without having to interrupt their own production lines. With the capabilities of this full-size applications lab, the company can afford customers the ability to test coatings and/or adhesives on their products on smaller sample batches without the inconvenience of scheduling downtime in production schedules.

Currently staffed by 13 full-time employees, the 10,000 sq. ft. laboratory, located in Erie, PA, is used consistently by approximately 30 members of the company's team, as well as customers around the world seeking support of their metal-to-rubber bonded parts and rubber products. To ensure realistic testing conditions, the company has invested heavily in machinery comparable to that found in the marketplace. Of note is the cross-head extruder that serves the weather strip industry.

Other equipment in the laboratory includes an elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber.  and TPV TPV Temporary Protection Visa (Australia)
