Where is it? 
3M, has launched a new advanced two-part adhesive which offers all the established 3M benefits of strength and ease of use alongside astounding clarity.
3M Scotch-Weld EPX Acrylic Adhesive DP804 offers superior adhesion to plastic and glass surfaces, making it ideal for commercial signage and point-of-sale manufacturers. However, it will also bond most metals and is suitable for any application where a coloured adhesive may detract from overall product appearance.
Offering superb, long-lasting clarity and strength, DP804 is fast-acting with bonded surfaces typically able to cope with manual handling in as little as four minutes.
It has been formulated to a viscosity which allows for simple, hassle-free workability. It offers excellent UV resistance with very good ageing properties in warm and humid environments.
The product works without damaging the surface of plastic, meaning screen printing is not affected, while any excess can be removed without leaving permanent blemishes, creating a super-clear finish every time.
Imran Idrees, Marketing Executive at 3M's Industrial Adhesives & Tapes Division, commented: "DP804 draws on 3M's extensive experience in industrial adhesives to introduce a product which is strong, durable and versatile due to its clarity.
"This makes it ideal for signage and point of sale, but in fact applications can be found almost anywhere."

3 Peaks Challenge
A big thank you to all our customers and suppliers who helped by way of donation for our 3 Peaks Challenge in May 2006.
In 23hours and 50minutes we had managed to Climb Ben Nevis (the highest mountain in Britain) in Scotland, drive down to and Climb Scafell Pike (the highest mountain in England) in the Lake District, then drive in to Wales and conquer Snowdon (the highest mountain in Wales.) This painful and gruelling experience did have a purpose; to help people who need assistance for the very basics in life.
The Charity World Vision whom we raised the money for, has a policy of providing aid with a lasting benefit; a case of helping people help themselves. Our target was to raise £2500.00 to buy and commission a water bore hole.
We are please to report that we ended up raising £ 5,500.00! and in addition World Vision will be able to claim Gift Aid on that money making it worth over £7000.00
