References and Abstracts EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; UK; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.582308 Item 344 Adhesives Age 39, No.2, Feb.1996, p.61-2 CIBA ADHESIVES AID IN GOLF CLUB ASSEMBLY The design is described of Taylor Made golf drivers and metal woods, and manufacturing methods using Ciba- Geigy’s Araldite AW 136/HY 994 epoxy resin adhesives to bond the club heads to the shafts of golf clubs. The adhesive is dispensed via an automated SeeFlo 387 bench top meter/mix/dispensing system which allows each 0.7 gram shot of adhesive to be dispensed into the head. This capability offers improved control of the mixed material flow rate to prevent epoxy from being dispensed too quickly into the club head, thereby trapping air in the cavity. Following adhesive injection, glass microbeads are poured into the head to act as ball bearings around the sides of the shaft, which is then pushed into the head under pressure to ensure a firm bond and eliminate air bubbles.

ISOSPORT VERBUNDBAUTEILE GMBH AUSTRIA; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.574453 Item 349 Urethane Plastics and Products 25, No.11, Nov.1995, p.5-7 THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF PITTSBURGH IN EVERY BRUNSWICK BOWLING BALL It is reported that for the past decade, Bayer’s PU materials have helped bowlers, from the tour’s top professionals to the high-handicap league bowler, bowl their best game. During the decade that Bayer has supplied PUs to Brunswick, the two have revolutionised the bowling ball industry by introducing what are known as reactive resin bowling balls. These balls, which include the Rhino Pro, the Quantum and the new Zone, use special materials from Bayer to offer the bowler greater control and more options 86 © Copyright 2001 Rapra Technology Limited

USA Accession no.572113 Item 350 Macplas International Aug.1995, p.142-3 SNOWTIME An all-terrain ski produced from a one-piece, stainless steel cap design is described briefly. The metal cap/ fibreglass/wood/rubber construction yields an ideal balance of strength and flexibility. The ski performs well on hard-packed snow and ice as well as on powdered snow. The various laminate layers are coated with an Araldite epoxy resin adhesive, assembled, placed in a press and cured under heat and pressure. The requirements of the epoxy resin adhesive are particularly examined. VOLANT SKI CORP. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; ITALY; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.571215 Item 351 Plastics Technology 41, No.11, Nov.1995, p.92 WHOLE NEW WAY TO MAKE SAILBOATS The conventional method of making sailboats using thermoset fibre-reinforced plastic laminates may be successfully replaced by a new approach developed by Advance USA in co-operation with JY Sailboats. The ‘ACP’ process is Advance USA’s patented method for making a three-layer structure that has a thermoformed thermoplastic skin, a foam core and a glass fibrereinforcing layer. Details are given.
