Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP are developing and testing bio-based adhesives for the industrial production of folding cartons in the Sustainable Gluing with Renewable Adhesives SUGRA project.
The demand for bio-adhesives is experiencing significant growth across various applications, including paper and packaging, construction, woodworking, medical, personal care, and more.
The location will enable BioBond to accelerate the commercialization of its plant-based, biodegradable adhesive and coating alternatives, targeting a wide range of industries.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, have created bio-adhesives with a programmable design that allows precise control over mechanical and adhesive properties.
Inspired by nature, a newly developed adhesive to help restore reefs is biocompatible and biodegradable, attributes essential for use in this extremely delicate environment.
The growing demand from the packaging industry for lightweight, sustainable, and inventive packaging options is anticipated to boost the bio-based adhesives market.
Here are six types of sustainable adhesives every technical formulator or manufacturer should know about. Many offer reduced waste, lower material costs, and increased efficiency.
Apart from having a bio-based content of more than 30%, Jowatherm GROW 853.20 is very resource friendly and can be processed at temperatures starting from 120 °C.
