GERMANTOWN, WI—A new research tool helps engineers quickly find the right adhesives for their assembly applications. The searchable Gluespec database from Ellsworth Adhesives was designed by engineers and contains curated, quality-checked data on more than 7,000 liquid adhesives, coatings, sealants and specialty chemicals from more than 70 suppliers.
The free database’s grid interface recommends materials based on a user’s search for a specific application or specific data points. It produces a dynamic online spreadsheet prepopulated with material test methods, complete technical details, key specifications and comparable materials.
