Success cannot happen without innovation. With this in mind, we developed the ASI Readers’ Choice Award as a way to honor the industry’s hard work and ingenuity.
Customizing adhesive formulas allows customer needs to drive innovation. As the number of adhesive-using industries grows, the variety of uses for hot-melt solutions is expanding to the point where there is not a one-size-fits-all formula for any industry.
The U.S. is the world’s largest specialty chemicals market, estimated at $208 billion. As a subsector of this market, the coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (CASE) markets accounted for over half, or $107 billion, in 2014.
To create proper bonds for pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), both the adhesive properties and substrate properties are critical. The highest concerns for the substrate are the surface chemistry and surface roughness.
Innovation is the backbone of the adhesives and sealants industry, and we created the ASI Readers' Choice Awards to honor all of the industry’s hard work and ingenuity.
