As a measure of facilitating recent growth within the German market, SCIGRIP will demonstrate an increased commitment to the region’s manufacturers with the announcement of an increased German sales team at Composites Europe 2013.

Among other advances in Germany to be announced, the expanded European team will include the appointment of a new German Key Account and Business Development Manager who will be available for meetings at the show.

Alongside these introductions, SCIGRIP will also showcase its range of tough methylmethacrylate (MMA) structural adhesives, developed specifically for the bonding of carbon and glass composites to metals and engineered plastics.

Included within this range and recently accredited with the new EN45545-2 2013 Fire Smoke and Toxicity (FST) standard, is SG300, a superior MMA that is popular for bonding interior rail applications. Offering primerless metal bonding with ratio-adjustable curing speeds, high elongation at break and excellent impact resistance, SG300 is manufactured by SCIGRIP at their UK facility meaning European customers can be assured of rapid distribution, fresh supplies and consistent results.

In addition, SCIGRIP will also be featuring other adhesives such as the 1:1 ratio SG 5000. This high strength product has gained a lot of attention in recreational vehicle applications across Europe and is replacing traditional rivet and seal assembly methods. The low exotherm, high build SG230, also FST approved, is being used successfully by key composite bonders in the marine market and will be showcased at the event.
