Dow Corning Molykote 111 Lubricant and Sealant for Valves
The Molykote 111 valve lubricant and sealant, available from Krayden, Inc. adhesive and sealant distributors, is a silicone oil offering water resistance, low vapor pressure, low volatility and a wide service temperature range of -40 °C/-40°F to 200°C/392°F. The Dow Corning Molykote 111 lubricant and sealant is a heavy consistency dimethyl 
silicone compound that offers resistance to most chemicals organic and inorganic. This versatile lubricant is used as a damping medium for dash pots in electrical and electronic equipment, is a sealant for vacuum pressure systems in airfcrafts, it prevents gaskets from sticking to metal and resists weathering and water washout, it is an anti-stick sealant for transformer gasket and equipment enclosures, it is also used as a chemical barrier coating, for rubber and plastic O-rings, gaskets and seals, for lubrication in control and pressure plug valves, water softener and faucet valves. The Molykote 111 compound has NSF 51, NSF 61 approval and is acceptable as a release agent under FDA 21 CFR 175.300, when used in accordance with that regulation. Dow Corning 111 valve lubricant and sealant maintains a serviceable consistency from approximately -70° to 400° F (-57° to 204° C).
Available in various container sizes, Molykote 111 can be applied by hand, specially designed automated equipment, by brushing or wiping.

Structural Adhesive and Magnet Bonder by Permabond
Krayden, Inc. Introduces the Permabond TA459 magnet adhesive that is non-corrosive to electrically conductive surfaces including copper. Used with the Initiator 43, the magnet bonding adhesive is the preferred method in the 
assembly of magnets in motors and electronics due to the reliable and consistent results produced. The Permabond TA459 is a fast and durable adhesive for bonding magnets and metals achieving 50% of full strength within 15 minutes. The easy to dispense, high viscosity gel can increase line speeds and reduce part rejection rates. The exceptional shear strength of the Permabond TA459 forms strong bonds to a variety of both plated and non-plated surfaces with a resistance to high temperatures, vibration and impact.

New Acrylic Adhesive Maxlok
Announcing a new acrylic adhesive with versatile substrate bonding capabilities manufactured by the LORD Corporation. This cutting edge technology allows surfaces to be mated more than once allowing for a more forgiving and user friendly application process. For use in various industries such as; solar, transportation, shipping and construction. The new Maxlok acrylic adhesive comes in three cure speeds using glass bead technology to optimize the bond line thickness. The optional cure speeds offer more flexibility when dealing with seasonal temperatures and optimal dispensing ability.The Maxlok is available in gray to blend more easily with metals and works in a broad range of temperatures (-40 to +300 Fahrenheit).
“This adhesive provides a low-cost alternative with superior performance in applications involving welding, riveting or other traditional mechanical fastening methods, especially in extreme temperature environments subject to high impact or high peel loads.“Maxlok is a premiere metal bonding system with superior performance across various substrates, which provides improved efficiencies and flexibility within customers’ manufacturing processes,” said Carlos Cruz, LORD Market Manager, Product Assembly Adhesives and Coatings, Americas Region. We have already seen great success using this adhesive in armored vehicles, motor coaches and trailers.”
According to Cruz, structural adhesive bonding is an established joining method that is proven in a variety of end-use markets – including more than 50 million cars, trucks, specialty vehicles and boats worldwide. The benefits of structural bonding have been widely touted for decades and are best summarized building a better product, faster, more simply and with less cost. When compared to mechanical fasteners and welding, structural adhesives widely distribute stresses, act as a sealant, reduce noise and vibration, offer excellent durability, help prevent corrosion and maintain the original mill finish quality of the exterior surface of thin panels. Adhesives also offer a lower cost option to traditional joining methods, decrease the margin of error and improve manufacturing processes and final products.
Superior performance has been achieved on multiple substrates, in particular galvanized steel.Intended for use in demanding applications such as transportation, wind and solar energy, shipping, specialty construction and the recreational/specialty vehicle industries, Maxlok has been validated through multiple bond and peel strength tests, outperforming competing products as well as traditional mechanical fastening methods. A flexible and process-friendly solution, Maxlok offers high adhesion strength without the need for a primer, which saves time and money. As compared to competing products, Maxlok offers better environmental performance, salt spray and humidity performance. Further, the acrylic adhesive defies dilute acids, alkalis, solvents, greases, oils, moisture, salt spray and weathering, while providing excellent resistance to UV exposure.
Cost savings can be significant: while welding requires skilled operators, bonding simply requires good operators. For companies interested in switching to adhesives, LORD offers a cost modeling tool that enables users to detail specific applications and requirements in order to determine how much they will save by the transition.
