Bonding polystyrene foam to steel and wood is an application that was traditionally done with contact cements or other solvent-based adhesives. Due to health and flammability concerns, however, the modern trend is to use 100% reactive systems.
Although binder adhesives are a small component of the lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles, they play a critical role in ensuring performance and efficiency while providing improved battery kinetics.
Materials companies are searching for solutions to refine the Li-ion battery, increase its capacity, and enhance its charging capabilities without increasing its weight. New innovation is required to take Li-ion batteries to the next level. Part of the solution lies with binder adhesives.
Adhesive manufacturers can partner with players all along the supply chain to reduce the environmental impact of single-use disposable hygiene products.
Adhesives are not typically top of mind to consumers of disposable hygiene products. They are not a large part of the product and can possibly be an afterthought by the article producers themselves. However, it is important to recognize that adhesives have several important tasks in these applications, from sealing and securing the diaper or pad core’s structure to holding elastics firmly in place inside the diaper.
October is shaping up to be an exciting month, with two major in-person industry events: The Adhesive and Sealant Council’s (ASC) Annual Convention & EXPO and The ASSEMBLY Show. Both events will feature various learning and technical sessions, exhibitions, and myriad networking activities to provide attendees with opportunities to expand their knowledge and interact with peers.
