AMICO ’s SPEED BEAD is Announced
Alabama Metal Industries Corporation (AMICO) is pleased to introduce SPEED BEAD, a new patent-pending self-adhering weather resistant casing bead with a built-in backer rod.
This ground-breaking product forms a weatherproof seal around windows, doors, and openings, eliminating the need for caulk on veneer stone and stucco applications.
In addition to several tubes of caulk per opening, SPEED BEAD can save contractors up to 40% on labor. This patent-pending design incorporates our high-tech SPEED BOND adhesive, which is specifically designed for bonding plastics in outdoor applications with temperatures ranging from -40 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. In the automotive and aerospace industries, similar materials are used where critical bonding, thermal expansion, and excellent weathering and sealing properties are required.
SPEED BEAD also incorporates cutting-edge flexible bulb technology. A contoured adhesion surface combined with a variable wall thickness design work together to provide a solid bonding surface adhesion.
"We are extremely happy to launch SPEED BEAD", said Gary Baltz II, AMICO's Vice President of Global Marketing and Product Development. "Our goal throughout this development process has been to create a world class product allowing builders and contractors to save time and money, ultimately reducing overall project cost.
The keys are in the patent pending bulb technology combined with our proprietary SPEED BOND adhesive. We believe it is the best on the planet for this type of application. Every contractor using this product raves about the time and material savings and is amazed by the incredible bonding capabilities of the SPEED BOND adhesive."
SPEED BEAD has been independently lab tested to exceed ASTM E330/E330M-14 (load test), ASTM E331-00 (Water Resistance), and ASTM E283-04 (Air Infiltration). SPEED BEAD is available in three colors, white, tan and gray to match a wide variety of finishes.
