PRODUCTS FASTENINGS & ADHESIVES BU
LTE: SUPPLYING FASTENERS FOR 65 YEARS Founded in 1956, Bu
lte is an international
company specialising in plastic and plastic- metallic fasteners and protection elements, supplying its customers all over the world from its three European locations. This year, Bu
has with its customers. Used in many industrial sectors, nylon fasteners
are often handled because of the weight saving compared to steel or other metals. They also offer good chemical resistance, do not rust or conduct electricity and often have low flammability. Bu
lte now offers a new range of lobe knobs made of lacquered nylon.
Technically delicate, this product meets many aesthetic and functional needs. It is therefore important to preserve the qualities specific to polyamide (ergonomic and non-slip grip, vibration absorption, resistance to deformation under impact, absence of magnetism and electrical conductivity) while benefiting from a metallic appearance. Gold, silver or other bright colours, a knob will be more visible and consequently more practical to use for the machine operator. In design too – for a piece of furniture, for example – a tightening tool with a lacquered aspect will enhance the elegance of a finish. Our technical sales team is always available to
answer all your standard or specific requests. Bu

BONDLOC UK RENEWS ISO 9001:2015 CERTIFICATION
Bondloc UK, a leading British manufacturer of industrial adhesives and sealants for over 25 years, is proud to announce its Quality Management System (QMS) has been recertified to ISO 9001:2015 after a comprehensive audit during January 2021. Quality manager, Gary Taylor, said:
“This is an important certification by a worldwide recognised authority on quality management and confirms that our processes continue to be robust, ensuring we deliver consistent, world- class quality products to our customers. Our adhesive products are used in the most demanding engineering and manufacturing applications across automotive, construction, agricultural, marine and transport industries where service and the quality of products used is paramount to their manufacturing and engineering processes.” Mark Adams, managing director, said: “We wanted to start 2021 with
a positive and strong foundation and this recertification reflects our commitment to continual improvement and on-going quality assurance to our customers. We have ambitious plans and strong projected growth for this year, and we are investing further in our production capabilities to support increased demand and to drive manufacturing productivity.” Sales and marketing director, Paul Nelson, said: “With the onset of
Brexit and various supply issues with imported goods, we are already seeing OEMs looking to switch their adhesive products for UK made, high-quality but lower-cost local alternatives. Our chemists work closely with the project teams on sampling and testing to ensure a smooth production transition. ISO 9001:2015 underpins our customers’ confidence in our quality systems to aid this process.”

Installing and caring for hygiene quarter turn latch fasteners
EMKA’s IP69K stainless steel hygiene compression latches with rounded/double flat or triangular key inserts are EHEDG Certified to make equipment in food processing and other hygiene areas more secure against unauthorised access. They are specially engineered to offer tamper and vibration resistance for most industrial installations and are able to withstand frequent high pressure washes where appropriate. According to the company, however, correct installation and care in use is
important for long term effective service of this type of quarter turn latch fasteners. In order to minimise vulnerability to bacterial build up, especially in food processing areas, the latches have a highly polished stainless steel surface and rounded design. Care in correct orientation during installation enables water and contaminants to drain off easily, while use of a special hard plastic key prevents damage to the lock surface, where scratches from a metal key could otherwise offer a site for bacterial build up. In assembling such a lock to an enclosure door, it is also important to ensure that it is fitted to a sufficiently smooth surface and regularly cleaned/maintained in order to preserve integrity of the gasket and it’s seating.
