CMC, which will be 51% owned by Bostik for an investment of around $11 million, will produce specialty cyanoacrylate monomers on an industrial scale at a competitive cost.
Arkema recently announced an investment in Crackless Monomer Co. (CMC), a joint venture between Bostik and Taiwanese company Cartell Chemical Co., to accelerate the development and production of high-value-added engineering adhesives.
Adhesives can be classified in several ways, including their material origin (e.g., natural or synthetic) and their type of cure (e.g., physical curing such as drying or chemical curing).
Adhesives and surgical sealants are used during medical procedures to fill surgical wounds, rebuild injured tissues, and replace and improve common stitching in medical practices.
The global market for surgical sealants and adhesives is forecasted to top $3.5 billion by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR of over 9.3% from 2019-2026.
In the plumbing industry, solvent-based PVC cements are used for bonding PVC plastics. However, if you need a solvent-free system, cyanoacrylates and reactive acrylics have been widely used on rigid PVC.
According to Henkel, its partnership with TerraCycle reflects its commitment to sustainability and its history of transforming manufacturing processes across a wide range of industries.
Henkel Corp. recently announced that it continues to build on the success of its Recycling Program by offering additive manufacturing customers recycling options across its Loctite® brands.
Both of these types of adhesives have the advantage of not containing solvents and being single component, so no measuring or mixing is involved. In addition, they both use moisture to initiate the curing.
