It is no secret that the performance of adhesives and sealants is advanced through polymer science. Enhanced bonding performance and specialized functionality—such as flexible gap filling, electric and/or heat conductivity, corrosion protection, and noise and vibration damping—are developed to meet unmet needs in industrial and consumer applications.
Rapid progress in the adhesives industry is being achieved through new macromolecular chemistry, raw materials and additives, as well as highly sophisticated dosing, metering, and dispensing equipment and state-of-the-art curing processes. These have allowed for custom bonding solutions that are outperforming conventional fastening and soldering techniques relative to flexibility, design freedom, and material compatibility while delivering excellent cost/performance benefits.
