Technical Tips – Surface Preparation For Epoxies, Acrylics and Silicones
Today we bring you a technical tip on how to properly carry out surface preparation for Epoxies, Acrylics and Silicones.
The article on our website goes into detail about the many different methods of treating/ preparing a surface dependant on the material you are preparing to use epoxies, acrylics or silicones on. As well as a handy table that identifies the best method for each. Check it out 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.

Category Post – Microwave Absorbers
Today’s focus is on our Microwave Absorber range for our #CategorySpotlight. This range is perfect for anyone who is seeking to protect their electronics from radio signals and RF interferences.
A couple of materials within our range include Broadband Absorbers and Machinable Absorbers, these provide a high level of insertion loss whilst also being able to perform at a multitude of different frequency ranges. Likewise, ABS technics Machinable Absorbers work at a varying number of frequencies, offering an excellent surface suppression on electrical currents in differing shapes and sizes.
Microwave Absorber
Whilst we have only focussed on two above, there are many more products within our Microwave absorber range:
- Broadband Absorbers
- Castable Absorber
- Cavity Absorbers
- Cho-Mute
- Foam & Honeycomb Absorbers
- Machinable Absorbers
- Narrowband Absorbers

Best Seller – September
It’s time to announce the #BestSeller for September. The top spot goes to @Permabond 737 (20g)!
Permabond 737 Black Magic is a toughened cyanoacrylate with improved impact and peel strength for maximum flexibility. Its increased temperature resistance and dark colour make 737 suitable for a wide range of applications. It bonds rapidly to a variety of surfaces including aluminium, steel (both zinc-plated and uncoated), plastics and rubbers. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are single component adhesives that polymerize rapidly when pressed into a thin film between parts. The moisture adsorbed on the surface initiates the curing of the adhesive. Strong bonds are developed extremely fast and on a great variety of materials. These properties make cyanoacrylates ideal adhesives for high-speed production lines.
Permabond 737 Black Magic – Toughened Cyanoacrylate Adhesive
£13.98 ex VAT
Features and Benefits:
- Good gap fill – up to 0.5mm/0.02″
- Toughened and Flexible
- Ease of use – no mixing or heat cure
- Black – so suitable for dark surfaces
- 100% reactive – no solvents
