Following BCC’s purchase of and consolidation with Blehm Plastics in 2006–2007, BCC Products, Inc./Blehm Plastics has been manufacturing both product lines in the current facility. “The addition will allow us to better support our current customers and future projects,” says President Roger Brunette, Jr. With this expansion BCC/Blehm will have a total of 40,000+ sq. ft. of warehousing and production space.
BCC Products, Inc./Blehm Plastics Lauches New Cyanoacrylate Adhesive Line
BCC Products, Inc./Blehm Plastics is proud to announce we’ve added the specialty chemistry of cyanoacrylate adhesives to our quality product line. The BC100 family of cyanoacrylates offers fast cure speeds formulated to bond those hard-to-bond surfaces with dependable strength. The BC100 adhesive comes in three formulas: BC100 Thin, BC100 Medium, and BC100 Thick. All three formulas perform to the exacting standards for which all BCC Products are known. All our cyanoacrylate adhesives currently come in 1oz and 2oz bottles, with other sizes available upon request.
New Low-viscosity Epoxy Adhesive/Laminating Resin
Together, BCC Products, Inc./Blehm Plastics has been a leader in epoxy formulation and resin technologies for over 80 years. Using new technology BCC/Blehm has developed an innovative low-viscosity epoxy adhesive/laminating resin for tooling and part bonding. BC5009 is an unfilled room temperature curing epoxy system with high performance capabilities.
Built for companies needing a 30-minute pot-life and an easily applied adhesive for bonding items like tooling/modeling boards and mid-to-large epoxy parts, as well as in other typical bonding environments, the BC5009 epoxy system will perform to your expectations. BC5009 is easy to mix, easy to apply by brush or trowel, and has excellent adhesion to most tooling materials and applications. Although this clear-amber epoxy adhesive is especially formulated for the bonding of wood and urethane model board, it may also be used as a laminating resin.
The BC5009 system has the added advantage of being a color-indicated system that visually shows the mix ratio. When mixed to the proper ratio, the green hardener and amber resin cure to light translucent amber, promoting fast and efficient mixing, with no time wasted over-mixing.
So, shouldn’t you be bonding with the best adhesive system for your high-performance demands? Look no further then BC5009 from BCC Products, Inc./Blehm Plastics.
New Super-fast Bonding Adhesives
BCC Products, Inc./Blehm Plastics—innovators of the epoxy clay systems, polyurethane fast cast systems, and many other products— have done it again with their newest innovations: the BC100 and BC150 polyurethane adhesive systems for super-fast set bonding of multiple substrates.
The BC110 is a super-fast set (1–2 minute) polyurethane adhesive for applications that require super-fast setting adhesive and great strength. Developed for quick repairs to automotive trims, dash panels and holding fixtures, the BC110 also is used in sport footwear bonding of soles and quick design bonds.
The BC150 is a fast set (5–15 minute) gel-time polyurethane system, excellent for automotive and marine use, as well as sign and prototypes. It offers, without primer, excellent bonding strength to multiple substrates and materials. Designed for bonding applications that require a longer gel-time than our BC110 superfast system, BC150 allows more time for adjusting the set and placement.
Both the BC110 and BC150 polyurethane systems are a 1:1 mix ratio available in 50ml and 400ml cartridges. Without the need for primers or heat treating, both systems bond well to such surfaces such as aluminum, stainless steel, ABS, PVC, polyurethane, composites, thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics, wood, glass, and concrete.

Epoxy Infusion Resins
BCC Products Infusion Resins are a growing family of materials for the production of composite parts or tooling. They are particularly effective when using an infusion process such as vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (RTM) or other infusion processes. These are the first three products i
n the infusion resin series. BC5500 is a very low-viscosity toughened system. BC5502 is a 60-minute low-viscosity RT toughened infusion system and BC5503 is an intermediate to high temperature low-viscosity toughened infusion system.
Urethane Room Temperature
Cast Elastomer
BCC Products manufactures a wide variety of cast elastomers for many specific markets. The BX SERIES of urethanes are formulated to stand up to the harsh conditions seen in the concrete construction market, whether casting large blocks, walls, or stone veneer molds. BX31, BX41, BX51, BX71 and other BX products can handle the toughest environments on Earth.
Polyurethane Pour in
Place Foam
BCC Products now has a new family of two-component, easy-to-use, room temperature mixing and curing foam systems. These pour in place rigid foams are great general purpose foams for molding and casting of various applications, like architectural effects, taxidermy, and many other industrial and crafting applications. These products are just the beginning of our offerings in rigid and flexible foams. BC8104 (4pcf.), BC8108 (8pcf.), BC8110 (10pcf.)
Release Agents and
Parting Waxes
BCC Products has just introduced BC1000, a new silicone-based release agent. BC 1000 exhibits good release characteristics in both elevated and room temperature application for urethane and epoxy molding, and is available in both bulk and
aerosol packaging.
