PLEXUS is a division of Illinois Tool Works, which has some 250 operating units in 33 countries worldwide. With its European headquarters based in Kettering, PLEXUS manufactures and supplies its PLEXUS range of structural adhesives to many industries including Automotive, Truck, Mass Transit, Marine and Construction. The unique, high-performance structrual adhesives represent a breakthrough in adhesive technology. They offer a combination of convenience, ease of use and superior mechanical strengths for bonding today's engineered plastics, composites and metals.
PLEXUS adhesives can be mixed and dispensed using hand held cartridge dispensers or through automated metermix equipment. They are easy to dispense and possess excellent gap-filling characteristics. The thixotropic formulation of PLEXUS adhesives allow use on vertical or inverted surfaces without sagging and cure on their own at room temperature. PLEXUS's unique methacrylate technology is similar to the chemistry of many recyclable plastics, so PLEXUS adhesives may be reground and remoulded with the plastic.
