The characteristics of ultraviolet (UV)-cured acrylic adhesives outweigh alternatives when health, the environment, longevity, and durability are priorities.
Sealants and adhesives play an integral role in the building envelope. However, not all adhesive formulations are created in the same way or from the same materials. Some may actually interact negatively with various building materials or perform temperamentally in areas of the country that experience broader seasonal temperature fluctuations. Choosing the correct adhesive saves valuable time and reduces labor, as well as the likelihood of costly rework.
Tape and adhesive manufacturers are working to enhance the sustainability of their products, but collaboration throughout the supply chain and beyond is also critical.
While media headlines over the past 18 months have been largely dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the focus on environmental impact and climate change has never been far away.
