Instant glue-spots of adhesive for third hand fixing

Keywords: Adhesives, Chiltern Adhesives

Chiltern Adhesives, a UK supplier of adhesive products reports that it is manufacturing and launching Fastfixers, a new, low-cost range of sticky spots on a roll. Fastfixers are believed to be ideal for third hand product assembly where they can either offer a permanent or temporary fix or for product assembly or transit.

Chiltern can also supply a range of double sided adhesive tapes with a bond that is said to be stronger than steel for ultra demanding applications.

Fastfixers are shaped, pressure sensitive dots of glue on a roll in a novel easy-to-use dispenser with in-built stabilisers just dab your product on a dot and touch it to whatever you want to stick in one quick movement.

With Fastfixers there is reportedly no liner to peel off, no messy liquids, no equipment to buy, no warm-up time, no burns, no fumes and no mess. The transparent stain-free dots create an instant bond and reduced assembly costs.

Although a wide variety of options are available, the standard range has 5,000 Fastfixers on a roll in small, medium or large dots and with three main strength options.

According to Chiltern, High Tack removable provides a good bond, even on many difficult substrates, but still allows clean removal of heavier items. Lower-tack removable is thought to be ideal for very low weight papers and unbleached fibres without tearing. It is easily removable. High-tack permanent is an aggressive, permanent adhesive that will stick most common surfaces from ceramics and plastics, to metals and card.
