To support our 2010 range of products we have created a Retainers and Sealants & Gasket Makers PDF leaflet which you can download. These leaflets clearly detail the products within each category along with their relevant pack sizes. Product support documentation for our other product categories will be added over the coming weeks.

Take a look at our Retainers section, or Sealants & Gasket Makers section in Engineering Adhesives or download the flyers below. For further advice on these ranges or to find your nearest stockist please complete the Contact Form or E-mail: info@holdtite.com.

New Front Line Holdtite UV Range

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Holdtite have always concentrated on producing bespoke UV Adhesives for customers’ special applications, but these products were made to order with consequentially long lead times. As a result, we missed out on the opportunity to supply more universally used products to a wider section of industry.

Therefore in 2010 we are pleased to offer a core range of products which reflect current market needs as well as our background in this market. These will be held in stock by nominated Distributors, who will be able to supply you on a next day basis, if required.

Whether you are involved in glass fabrication of e.g., furniture, shower screens, decorative window features, sculptures, awards; or plastic fabrication of e.g., point of sale items, such as costume jewellery, take a look at our UV section in Engineering Adhesives. Contact David Nicholas (E-mail: info@holdtite.com) for further advice on this range or to find your nearest stockist.

REACH policy Statement Autumn 2008

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I would like to take this opportunity to update you on our current progress relating to the REACH legislation that came into force on the 1st June 2007. Our main objective since this began has been to ensure continued supply to our customers.

Holdtite has been working alongside all of its suppliers to ensure that all raw materials and products are pre-registered if required under the legislation.

Regarding the “candidate list” of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Holdtite only uses one of the 15 substances, Dibutyl phthalate (CAS number 201-557-4), in a small number of its products. We anticipate to have eliminated its use by early 2009. Under the legislation we are legally obligated to provide an MSDS on request for any preparation (product) with an SVHC individually present at >0.1% w/w.

If and when we become aware of a substance or product that is no longer going to be available for any reason, we will ensure customers that have bought that product or a product containing that material in the last 12 months are informed as soon as possible.

We will not be providing a break down of CAS numbers of the raw materials or their pre registration in our formulations/products, as we are not obligated to do so under the REACH directive.

If you have any questions or information requests outside of the above please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please also check our website regularly for updates regarding REACH and other legislation.

Technical Director.
