Wanted - a guide to adhesives

Edited By Bob Gitsham on 19/09/2017 08:17:10

Tim,

The little book that I mentioned back on 15-April would appear to offer exactly what you want [except of course that it is 33 years out of date]. ... You, being an establised technical author, might be just the man to update it.

May I suggest that you contact the publisher ?

I found this on my computer it may be of interest to someone.

Sorry I didn't see any instructionon how to do that, I hope this is correct. Thanks.

You got it

Hi gents, coming onto this thread a little late, but Loctite produced a "World Design Handbook in various editions. Mine is from 1996/97 and full of hard to find information on their products.

Ed

There is also this one that looks pretty good.

The only problem with Henkel/Loctite is they have produced so many guides you need a guide to choosing which guide to use... but I see that's the 2017 version so thanks for posting the link.

That said, it doesn't cover joint design, a shame they don't pull everything together in one document.

How long has hypertext been available ? [ it certainly pre-dates the internet].

It's a shame that so few 'electronic documents' use it to real effect.

This example, despite showing its age, is one of the few:

[ I've chosen an arbitrary start page ]

A guide to Adhesives could [should?] be made in that style.

I think I must have the polar-opposite viewpoint. I hate with a vengeance. documents that split descriptions, instructions etc over many, many web-pages. You can never see the thing "as a whole" and making a hard copy is impossible.

The worst culprits are the various public-domain maker communities with their wiki documentation.

.

Actually, I think we may be in general agreement

.. you have just elaborated on my comment.

I picked up a copy of "Loctite Worldwide Design Handbook" 1996/97 edition at the local church fair a coup;e of months ago. It's a hard cover book of about 460 pages, it has information about the various Loctite products, and the use etc. Some of it is possibly out of date, but most of it is ok.

RS has a quite comprehensive adhesives datasheet, it's over a decade since it was last updated though and I suspect many of the product codes are no longer available.  (225kB pdf file)

Ah yes .... I do see. Shoulda pushed on through the obfuscation

The quotes that I see are all very good information but obviously biased towards the vendors' products.

Not to say there is anything wrong with them as I have used many of them, and they all seem to work.

Neil - This topic deserves to become a 'sticky' ?
