Summary

Martin Blank's beautiful, large sculptures cannot be created out of one piece of blown glass. This is where LOCTITE^® adhesive comes into play! There are many challenges to consider when bonding these fragile pieces together. As well as weighing hundreds of pounds, the glass structures are displayed in public with all the stresses of people, wind load, gravity and more. LOCTITE^® is the trusted brand that combats these challenges.

"LOCTITE'S EXPERIENCE WORKING IN VIRTUALLY EVERY INDUSTRY BRINGS A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE INTO JUST ABOUT ANY SITUATION."

Imagine the risk involved in keeping the glass structures together! Artists take days, weeks and months to create the intricate masterpieces they envision. And then the sculpture is placed in public where, if it is not properly held together, it could fall and shatter, potentially injuring large numbers of people.

Martin Blank is known for his figurative sculptures and architectural glass installations. His work can be found around the world in museums and prestigious corporate lobbies, as well as in public installations in prominent spaces. Due to its varied nature, Martin Blank's work involves a number of applications.

The bonds consist of glass to glass, glass to metal, and metal to metal. This requires multiple LOCTITE^® chemistries to be used to ensure maximum strength. Epoxies, methylmethacrylate (MMA) and more are the backbone for Martin Blank's pieces.

A LOCTITE^® technical sales engineer introduced LOCTITE AA H8003, an MMA, to test the bond of blown-glass pieces to their metal fixture. The staff at Martin Blank were astonished at how strong this bond was. Starting as a liquid, LOCTITE^® adhesive cures to hold up to hundreds of pounds of blown-glass art together. Time and time again, LOCTITE^® is the trusted partner of Martin Blank. Without LOCTITE^® adhesive, the final vision of the sculpture would not be possible.
