Toyochem Co., Ltd., the polymers and coatings arm of Japan’s Toyo Ink Group, has launched a new low-odor, low-VOC acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Among all chemical curing techniques, convection and radiant thermal curing represent the most widely used applications for adhesives and sealants. During the curing process, adhesives and sealants usually pass through two physical transformations—evaporation and condensation—while being applied to other materials.

Toyochem Co., Ltd., a member of the Toyo Ink Group, has developed a new Cyabine series of polyurethane pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) with an ultra-high solids content of 99% or more.

The electronics adhesives market is projected to top $6.3 billion this year, according to a recent business intelligence report.

Evonik’s Coating Additives business line recently announced a new-generation SURFYNOL 104 Z additive that contains virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Silicone-based coatings are among the most versatile materials used in a variety of industrial applications, including pressure-sensitive tapes, protective coatings, and the protection of printed text on packaging.
