Techsil have developed a new clear, epoxy adhesive called EP25880 Clear that cures fast and provides a strong, tough and durable bond on carbon fibre composite parts. In tests, two carbon fibre parts were 'butt joined' and a bench weight test of 56lb was applied for 30 minutes and the joint remained intact. Techsil® EP25880 Clear is a 2-component multi-purpose epoxy that is ideal for bonding carbon fibre, wood, ceramics and metals.

Techsil has successfully completed the approval procedure for the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register (JOSCAR) which enables companies in the Aerospace, Defence, Security & Space sectors to identify qualified suppliers.
Chris Dilley, M.D. comments, "We are pleased that we have satisfied the requirements to become fully compliant on the JOSCAR supplied accreditation register. Becoming a member assures our customers and partners that the service we provide is of the highest quality and complies fully with the industry standards."

In this case study Techsil provided a bespoke Form-in-Place Foam Gasketing service to TRT Lighting to produce an IP rated seal for the lid of an outdoor lighting luminaire. With high order demand, the need to expedite certain elements of the assembly process at TRT were paramount. The new process replaced a manual system of gasket application saving time and allowing vital resources to be used elsewhere.

Time to Switch from Squeeze Bottles to Benchtop Fluid Dispensing?
A new White Paper from Nordson EFD is available on the Techsil website. It outlines all the advantages of using a controlled method of dispensing. The main benefits being:
Less waste: It typically cuts the amount of fluid used by 50-70% due to the improved accuracy of the deposit. This means less waste leading to significant savings.
Increased productivity: A worker who manually assembles 800 parts during an eight-hour shift can assemble 1,000 to 1,200 parts with the assistance of an air-powered fluid dispenser.
