SEALANTS AND ADHESIVES
Ease of Squeeze
The ease of squeeze: that’s what company officials at Power Adhesives
Ltd. say tops the offerings of its new TEC 810™ stick gun. In addition,
the TEC 810 has a compact, ergonomic design and a full-hand lever trigger
that allows for adhesive flow control. It heats up to 380 degrees Fahrenheit
in just three minutes, according to the company, and features an illuminated
on/off switch and an easy-to-change thermostat that adjusts the gun’s
temperature for dispensing various types of hot-melt and low-melt adhesives.
The TEC 810 also features an accurate dispensing system, which allows
the user to regulate the amount and rate of adhesive flow by using a set
screw in the back of the gun.

Get the E-Look
SIEGENIA-AUBI is offering a new environmentally friendly, high corrosion-resistant
hardware finish called the E-Look. Featuring high wear resistance, E-Look
solutions have passed more than 1,000 hours in salt spray testing, making
them ideal for even the most extreme applications, including harsh coastal
environments, according to the company. Interlock USA is in the process
of offering E-Look as standard on all of its European hardware solutions.
“Offering superior corrosion resistance adds significant value to our
solutions,” says Axel Husen, president and chief executive officer of
Interlock USA. “We’re excited to combine efforts with SIEGENIA-AUBI and
KFV, not just in terms of distribution, but also in the area of new product
development. This partnership allows us to expand and improve our product
offering to our North American customers by incorporating the most advanced
technology in the world.”
Interlock USA also has a new all-stainless-steel product that is engineered
to optimize security, ease of operation and flexibility. The casement
window hardware system is equipped with a removable cover and handle,
allowing for quick and easy installation while decreasing the potential
for shipping damage. The removable components are offered separately to
minimize inventory costs. They are available in both metal and composite
options.
The system also incorporates a self-locating guide, designed to simplify
installation and utilize the window structure to maximize support.
