Adhesives are no longer background consumables; they are strategic enablers of greener supply chains, lighter designs, and smarter high‑speed manufacturing.
ASI interviewed Michael Lefenfeld, President & CEO of Hexion, to discuss the company's sustainability strategy and vision for the future of sustainable chemistry.
Read about how Hexion is integrating advanced digital tools and renewable raw materials to reduce environmental impact and enhance manufacturing performance.
A renewable raw material can be effectively incorporated into a hot-melt formulation with the objective of not only increasing the renewable content of the adhesive but also maintaining high performance standards.
Aware of the need to develop adhesives that are increasingly efficient and environmentally respectful, AIMPLAS has been actively involved in projects aimed at improving adhesive technologies.
The facility will help to address a critical gap in U.S. bio-manufacturing infrastructure and support development of bio-based chemical products, including adhesives.
As consumer expectations evolve and regulatory landscapes shift, manufacturers are discovering that the traditional approaches to packaging tape development and application are no longer sufficient.
By delivering high-strength, consistent bonds across diverse substrates, hot-melt systems are helping contractors and manufacturers meet tight deadlines, reduce disruption, and achieve clean, professional finishes.
