PERMABOND® TA4246 is a 2-part, no-mix, room temperature curing structural adhesive. It is ideal for use on a wide variety of substrate materials and forms a very high strength structural bond with excellent environmental durability and chemical resistance. It has high peel strength and excellent impact resistance and can be used to replace rivets or welding to give a more lightweight, durable assembly. Use with Permabond® Initiator 46.

New structural acrylic multi-bonder with exceptional performance on Nylon!

Structural bonding of low surface energy plastics, polyprolylene, polyethylene & PTFE. No surface treatment necessary! Permabond TA4605 & TA4610 structural acrylic adhesives, offer impressive shear strength and even achieve substrate failure in pull tests on these traditionally difficult to bond plastics (see how the lap shears in the image have stretched, distorting the bonded material but the bonded joint has remained intact). No need for flame, corona or plasma treatment. Available in a range of cure speeds for large an small components.

Permabond TA4630 & TA4631 no odour structural acrylic adhesives for low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene and PTFE also achieve impressive results on rubber, PET, PEEK and acetal (POM)! Both products offer rapid cure. TA4630 is black with micro beads for larger gaps and TA4631 is translucent without micro beads for narrow bond lines.

Ultra-fast UV-curing adhesive, designed to bond both rigid plastics and a wide variety of thermoplastics.

ET5428 and ET5429 are thixotropic two part adhesives with excellent resistance to impact and vibration. The controlled flow properties as well as ease of mixing and application enables the adhesives to be used where gap filling up to 5mm is required. Exceptional performance even at elevated temperatures. Available in black or cream for an aesthetically pleasing finish on carbon fibre and FRP.

Use Your Head! It’s Infinitely Better The PH20 utilises the award winning REVO measurement technology to speed up measurement whilst reducing dynamic errors at higher measurement speeds. The PH20 allows measurements to be taken purely by moving the head, rather than the structure. Data can be collected faster with improved accuracy. The 5-axis motion eliminates the time spent indexing the head and together, head movement and indexing, increases measurement time by a factor of 3.

GSK, a prominent pharmaceutical company, sought to enhance the speed and yield of drug production through photocatalysis. Previous approaches using broad spectrum fluorescent lighting had yielded inconsistent results, and so GSK approached Solsta with a request to design an instrument capable of testing the optimal wavelength and power level of LED illumination for specific reactions in drug production. The challenge was to develop an instrument that could be used to determine the optimum wavelength and power level of LEDs for photocatalysis. The instrument should accommodate cassettes of 48 LEDs at single wavelengths, allowing for concurrent use of 48 sample vials. It should also enable the selection of specific power settings with continuous adjustment, support constant or pulsed light operation with a variable duty cycle, offer a range of wavelengths for direct comparison, and be compatible with both batch chemistry vials and flow chemistry plates. Working closely with the scientists at GSK, Solsta successfully designed an instrument that addressed these requirements. It features cassettes with 48 LEDs at single wavelengths assigned by GSK, enabling controlled test parameters. The optical power can be set to a specific level with continuous adjustment, and the LEDs can be operated in either constant or pulsed mode. An additional cassette using 24 LEDs provides balanced optical output power across six different wavelengths for direct comparison of results. The instrument is designed to accept housings for batch chemistry vials or a flow chemistry plate, accommodating different experimental setups. The instrument enables GSK to determine the optimum optical power and wavelength for photocatalysis of different chemistries, leading to increased drug yield while minimising byproduct generation. Solsta’s collaboration with GSK in this successful project showcases their expertise in developing customised instruments for pharmaceutical applications.

The patented lightfusion™ photofacial system is a proven phototherapy treatment which energises skin cells, rejuvenates skin and helps to promote collagen and elastin which are essential for the fight against the aging process. The lightfusion system is a professional grade light emitting diode device for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles and pigmented skin. The lightfusion phototherapy mask incorporates LED devices that deliver an optimised and controlled level of red and near infra-red light, essential in boosting cellular processes and promoting healthier skin. The light emitted is red at 633nm+/-5nm, and NIR at 830nm+/-5nm. The small portable controller unit launches the treatment cycle at the touch of a button. The lightfusion™ LED is a new cost effective way to deliver advanced, non-invasive photofacials in a matter of minutes. We took lightfusion’s base design and applied “design for manufacture” processes, transforming it into a product that could be reliably produced in high volume. We created new firmware and circuit board layout for this novel LED device. Our Design and Build team offers a complete end-to-end solution for optoelectronic and display projects. Building on our experience of supplying specialist components and displays, we can take your optoelectronic project or custom display assembly from an idea or concept, through specification, design, prototyping and pre-production into full production.

Piezoelectric sensors contain crystal sensing elements which convert a mechanical or thermal input into an electrical signal, normally a charge output. Piezoelectric Pressure Transducers are used for measuring dynamic pressure or acoustics in extreme environments. They are often used for measuring dynamic pressures in Engine In-cylinder Combustion, Aero & Gas Turbines, Ballistics and even Plastic Injection moulding and Machine Control. Piezoelectric Pressure Sensors exhibit fast dynamic response, extreme ruggedness at high temperatures to 850 Degrees. Custom solutions are readily available including the full measurement chain of cable, connectors, insertion/extraction tools and signal conditioning amplifiers.

These drill bushes are normally used for jigs where an economically priced drill bush is required, or where less space is available on the jig plate. Headless press fit bushes are pressed into the plate to achieve a flush surface in conjunction with a simple drilling and reaming operation. Headless drill bushes have less resistance than the headed type when subjected to large axial loads. These bushes are denominated by the PP reference for metric drill bushes and P for the imperial bush.
