New Flyer by National Adhesives Presents Adhesives for Water Filter Assembly


BRIDGEWATER, NJ, February 28, 2008 - National Adhesives has published a new
flyer on its FILTER-LOK® polyurethanes and epoxy adhesives for the assembly of
membrane filtration elements.

According to the publication, changing performance requirements and the
increasing use of membrane filtration elements by governments, businesses and
households to separate contaminants from water and other liquids is
necessitating the development of new membranes and innovative adhesives.

National Adhesives' FILTER-LOK polyurethanes and epoxy adhesives are
formulated to resist a wide range of pH, chemicals, temperatures and pressures
and provide high-performance bonding in spiral wound, hollow fiber, tubular
and cassette membrane assembly. Many of the company's FILTER-LOK polyurethanes
and epoxies comply with FDA, NSF, USP, DWI, DGS and KTW regulatory standards.

Included in the publication are charts on National Adhesives' 2-part
polyurethane and 2-part polyurethane and epoxy systems, with details regarding
mix ratios, viscosity, density, color, shore hardness and tensile strength.
