Athena Environmental Sciences, Inc. Announces Line of Environmentally Friendly Products
AthenaES has announced the launch of a new line of environmentally friendly products. The first of these is MagiGlue, a superior multipurpose glue with the unique property of being reversible with water, which makes MagiGlue perfect for temporary applications as well as standard glue uses. The glue is superior to standard multipurpose glues because it can be used in a greater range of applications-- MagiGlue adheres to not only paper, wood, fabric and most plastics, but also to metal and glass. It is also safe to use on photographs.
MagiGlue's bond can be reversed with water, which is excellent for temporary home projects such as holiday displays, dorm decorations, dashboard figures and many more. MagiGlue is also ideal for temporary manufacturing applications including labeling of products, appliance stickers, temporary signage, parts assembly operations and positioning and holding during micromachining operations. The glue is also suitable for wound dressings and other medical adhesive applications.
MagiGlue is made from all natural polymers. It contains no animal by-products, is petroleum-free, and is completely non-toxic.
