ASC, CATIA, and FEICA Announce Revisions to Joint Adhesives and Sealants Classification Manual
Readers of industry market reports from ASC, FEICA, and CATIA will now be able to refer to harmonized definitions and compare industry market data between North America, the European Union, and Asia.
The Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC), FEICA (the European voice of the adhesive and sealant industry), and the China Adhesives and Tape Industry Association (CATIA) have partnered to update and harmonize adhesive and sealant industry terms, definitions, and market segmentation published in the "ASC-CATIA-FEICA Adhesives and Sealants Classification Manual." In 2020-2021, the associations collaborated on an industry reference guide containing definitions, segments, and key applications of adhesive and sealant technology families and end-use market segments and sub-segments. This document updates and replaces the previous classification manual. Readers of industry market reports from ASC, FEICA, and CATIA will now be able to refer to these harmonized definitions and compare industry market data between North America, the European Union, and Asia.
Michael Yang, secretary general of CATIA, said, "This updated manual is very important for the adhesive and sealant industry. It not only guides us to understand the new application progress of the adhesive and sealant industry, but also helps us correctly understand the downstream application segments. In recent years, the strategic emerging application markets continue to expand, such as automobile, new energy, prefabricated building, electronic industry, green packaging, etc., which have brought huge business opportunities for adhesive and sealant enterprises. We are glad to see that the publication of this manual is at the right time."
