Start with the news release
Epoxy structural bonding from Loctite from
Henkel Loctite Adhesives, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Loctite Hysol Epoxy adhesive range comprises one- and two-component epoxies that offer improved clarity, less odour, better flow, higher strength and greater durability than competitive products. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Vishay provides web tension system for pilot plant from
Vishay Micro-Measurements: "Vishay Intertechnology has provided a web tension measurement system to Western Michigan University (WMU) for use in its Coating Pilot Plant.".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Henkel Loctite Adhesives
- take a look at Henkel enhances threadlocking adhesives
which says: "Henkel has improved the formulations of two of its threadlocking adhesives to meet the requirements of engineers and designers and to facilitate use on a wider selection of substrates.".
Take a look also at the news release from Newport Spectra-Physics, Newport unveils thin film coated mirrors,
as well as Newport develops micromachining workstation from Newport Spectra-Physics,
and Thermal epoxy adhesive optimises heat transfer from Master Bond.
