From newly developed raw materials and chemicals to finished products and high-tech applications, the adhesive and sealant industry continues to focus on innovation.
From newly developed raw materials and chemicals to finished products and high-tech applications, the adhesive and sealant industry continues to focus on innovation.
It’s clear that we are entering a new age of innovation, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the performance chemical sector. As commerce reactivates following a turbulent and unpredictable year across every sector, many brands operating in the adhesive, sealant, and coating markets are looking toward the next wave of new product development.
We have a problem maintaining adhesion to two steel surfaces at divergent temperatures because of the response of materials to thermal conditions when going through heating and cooling cycles.
We are using epoxy adhesives to bond steel substrates that are exposed periodically to both 150˚C and as low as 0˚C. Our problem is in maintaining adhesion to the two steel surfaces at such divergent temperatures because of the response of materials to thermal conditions when going through heating and cooling cycles. Do you have any suggestions?
The chemical industry continues to strive for greener innovation, and liquid polybutadiene technology can provide innovative solutions for today’s challenges.
Silane-modified polymers (SMPs) are particularly suitable for formulating elastic adhesives, sealants, and coatings. How can additives help optimize performance?
Adhesives and sealants are part of our daily lives, although they are often invisible. They ensure that our food is packaged and promoted safely, that our houses are wind- and waterproof, and that our communication and mobility needs are served in safe and efficient ways. Thousands of everyday items, such as mobile phones, washing machines, personal hygiene products, shoes, clothing, building products, batteries, automobiles, rail cars, ships, and even airplanes, are nowadays only possible thanks to high-performance adhesives and sealants.
Subject to customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021.
