Let’s face it, it’s a lot easier to talk about and set sustainability goals than it is to actually create and launch technically, operationally, and commercially viable greener formulas.

Styrene-isoprene-styrene polymers can be used to eliminate the need for end-block resins in elastic laminate bonding applications.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a well-known bio-based thermoplastic polymer.

Construction markets continue to grow, along with the demand for the required material categories such as wood adhesives.
