HITEK History – HITEK’s Website Turns 1

Today marks 1 year of this HITEK website. 

This time last year we bid farewell to our old website by it glitching into our new website. A year on since that faithful day a lot has changed.  

From hundreds of new products arriving onsite, to our new RFQ system we’ve been constantly building and improving our site. While this is only a small milestone, there is a lot more to come over the coming months and we hope that our efforts are worthwhile as our site continues to grow in age! 

Take a look at how we announced our site below.

Technical Tips – Applying Cho-Bond 1038 & 1075

Today we bring you a Technical Tips on applying Cho-Bond 1038 & 1075.

The application of Cho-Bond typically starts with a primer . Then solvent-based primer dries up quickly meaning that it is effective when used on metalwork/grooves. Cho-Bond can then be applied as a thin layer to create a gasket.

To find out the full works on how to properly apply Cho-Bond 1038 & 1075 read the full piece here.

Technical Tip – Degassing Adhesive Products

Today’s #TechnicalTips is from @Henkel, and it is all about Degassing Adhesive products.

Sometimes undesirable gasses get trapped when using polyurethane/epoxy materials. As such the process of degassing is needed to remove them. Check out the article here where you can find out about how the process works and more specifically the affect of not degassing adhesives.

Technical Tips – Surface vs Volume Resistivity

Today we bring you a Technical Tips on how to measure resistance of materials.

There are two main methods used to calculate resistance of elastomeric materials, a pressure probe or a surface probe (in this case a CHO-PROBE). With the use of these probes different methods can be used to calculate the Volume resistivity,

Check out the full tech tips from Parker Chomerics below to get a better grasp on the topic!
