Testimonial from a Customer in Hungary
"We are always looking for better solutions for our customers. In summer 2006 we decided to cast a one-piece aluminum tank with F 5-L. After 8 months life-time now we have best result: no sticking of aluminum to the sidewalls and less corundum. Within the next months we will realize the same Thermbond application again. We hope that this method will become standard for all plants of our customer worldwide. Thanks for your support and help to use Thermbond as a better solution."

Testimonial from a Secondary Aluminum Maintenance Manager:
"I have used Thermbond Formula 2104 to repair walls, floors and ramps with great success. I cast a complete ramp with 2104-L to extend the life until we could schedule an outage to make proper repairs. Because of the condition of the 2104-L ramp upon inspection, we decided not to replace the ramp during the outage. This ramp lasted for over one year."
