We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Sealants",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Adhesives complement fixing portfolio from
Anixter Components, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rite-Lok cyanoacrylate and anaerobic adhesives are fast and easy to use, and form strong bonds to secure components firmly in place".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Pneumatic valves dispense with accuracy from
Intertronics: "For industrial liquid dispensing, pneumatically controlled valves are robust, accurate, can be cycled quickly and in many cases can be implemented at low cost with several benefits".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Sealant Equipment and Engineering
concerning its Material dispense valves
- take a look at Valves apply adhesives, sealants and lubricants
which says: "12-page brochure details material dispensing valves for aerospace, appliance, defence, electronics, filters, marine, medical, sporting goods, automotive, truck and bus assembly applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Smithers Rapra, Conference targets automotive adhesives,
as well as Two-component adhesive provides high strength from Master Bond,
and Adhesives bulletin released from Smithers Rapra.
