Brief Particulars of Recently Introduced Materials likely to have Aircraft, Missile or Space Vehicle Applications. Ultraseal Ltd., the impregnation specialists of 824 Yeovil Road, Slough Trading Estate, Slough, Bucks., have announced the introduction of a new, single pack, polyester resin based adhesive for commercial and industrial use. Designated GS.3, the new adhesive is suitable for bonding most common materials including wood, metal, rubber, leather, textiles, ceramics and glass, and is expected to find numerous applications in a wide variety of industries such as aeronautical engineering, car manufacture, electronics, electrical engineering, machine tools, production engineering, packaging, building, etc. A notable feature of GS.3 adhesive is its rapid curing at lower temperatures than are normally required, e.g. at 120 deg. — 140 deg. C (248 deg. — 284 deg. F) curing is achieved within 50 seconds. Both the cure time and temperature, however, can be varied to suit customers' specific requirements.
