Adhesive and coating systems that use ultraviolet (UV) or visible light to begin the curing are intrinsically very attractive systems to the manufacturing engineer, allowing assembly of components and then “curing on command” by exposing to the radiation.

Electrolux is a global manufacturer of appliances ranging from washers and dryers to water heaters and dishwashers.

The manufacturing community will assemble October 22-24 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill., for the seventh annual ASSEMBLY Show.

A structural adhesive is a “load-bearing” adhesive that is used to bond a joint and is capable of holding two or more substrates together under stress.

Vince Lombardi famously said, “Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.”

Thermal influences can significantly affect the service life, capacity, and—above all—operational safety of high-voltage (HV) batteries.

The desire to reduce vehicle emissions, especially in densely populated areas, is driving the replacement of combustion engine-powered cars with electrical vehicles.

The hybrid adhesive and sealant market is projected to grow from $4.6 billion in 2016 to over $7.5 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 8.6%.1 Silane-modified polymers (SMPs) are the resins of choice for this market, as they provide excellent adhesion and elasticity.

For facility operations managers, launching a 5S lean manufacturing program can reduce waste and optimize productivity through better workplace organization.
