Why Hauschild SpeedMixer®
- Epoxy based adhesives are often used in place of or in addition to traditional fasteners. They provide a strong and permanent bond to a variety of materials like metals, ceramics, composites, and foams. They may be mixed with rheology modifiers like fumed silica, flocking for reinforcement, or beads to control the thickness of adhesive between bonded surfaces.
- To achieve the strongest possible bond, surfaces being bonded must be prepared by cleaning & sometimes roughening, epoxy components and additives must be weighed at the correct ratio as specified by the manufacturer, and the system must be mixed thoroughly. A vacuum degassing procedure is also often used to remove bubbles, dissolved gasses, or volatile content that could otherwise create voids or outgas. Once mixed, the epoxy will start to react and must be applied within the “working time” before it begins to gel or harden. The adhesives can often be packaged into cartridges to make application easier and faster so that nearly all the material can be used within the working time and waste is minimized.
Reduce operational costs with energy-efficient machines designed for rapid and thorough mixing, ensuring no unwanted bubbles & voids.
Easily scale your production from small batches to large quantities while maintaining uniformity and quality.
Our mixers handle a wide range of applications, including dispersing rheology modifiers like fumed silica and incorporating structures like hollow glass micro balloons to reduce density.
Problem
Mixing high-viscosity adhesives and sealants can lead to inconsistent quality, presence of air bubbles, and difficulty in achieving flawless consistency.
Solution
Hauschild SpeedMixer™ offers advanced solutions for mixing high-viscosity adhesives and sealants, ensuring perfect consistency and eliminating air bubbles. Optimize your adhesive and sealant applications with our industry-leading laboratory mixers.
High-Performance Mixing Solutions for Adhesives & Sealants
Adhesives and sealants are a broad class of materials that are rarely visible but serve important purposes almost everywhere you look. Applications are quite varied and include products like high-performance epoxies used to hold together Formula 1 cars or airplanes, sealants between double-pane windows that make buildings more energy efficient, and even specially developed pressure-sensitive adhesives that make your favorite pack of cookies resealable.
Performance Requirements
Performance requirements for many classes of products are unique. For example, medical adhesives favor biocompatibility whereas chemical resistance is far more important for a product like a fuel tank sealant. Therefore, base polymers and additives must be selected and formulated for each unique use case.
The Role of SpeedMixer™
The SpeedMixer™ is used in adhesive and sealant formulations, ensuring uniform distribution of fillers, plasticizers, and curing agents.
