Chemicals and materials


ADHESIVE Water-based adhesives for dry-bond laminating provide economical and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional solvent-based adhesive systems. Robond L series products, available as one- or two-component systems, adhere to a variety of substrates, with good clarity and little or no slip interaction. Rohm and Haas, http://www.rohmhaas.com

FLOOR PATCHING Epoxy/concrete compounds adhere to a wide range of substrates, cure at room temperature, and achieve compressive strengths three times that of concrete. General-purpose, fast-curing, and industrial versions are available. Nonsagging formulations will not drip when used on vertical or overhead applications. Devcon, http://www.devcon.com

DIMETHYL SULFOXIDE This high-purity DMSO with low UV absorbance is suitable for R&D, analytical, and high-performance applications. DMSO is a low-odor, colorless, low-toxicity, stable liquid that is a preferred solvent for chemical synthesis, biological preservation, and stem cell research. Product is available in 500-lb drums and 40-lb pails. Richman Chemical, http://www.richmanchemical.com
