Researchers have developed an approach that could help overcome two key barriers to producing no-added-formaldehyde (NAF) particleboard on continuous production lines, potentially improving manufacturing efficiency while reducing formaldehyde emissions.

Specialty material solutions provider Trinseo has expanded its acrylic latex binders platform for coatings, adhesives, sealants, and construction (CASE) applications. 

After more than two years of contraction, the manufacturing sector showed renewed momentum in January, with economic activity expanding for the first time in 12 months, according to the latest ISM® Manufacturing PMI® Report.

Chemical distribution company KRAHN Chemie, Hamburg, Germany, is expanding its collaboration with specialty chemicals provider Lamberti.

This all-acrylic latex binder offers enhanced adhesion and durability to facilitate easy installation of luxury vinyl tile systems.

The expansion enables WACKER to support predicted growth in high-performance adhesives and sealants over the long term. 

Arkema, AkzoNobel, and Omya have collaborated to develop a range of low-carbon options for more sustainable decorative paints with a 30% or more reduced carbon footprint.

Covestro is opening a specifically developed, automated laboratory for optimizing coating and adhesive formulations to provide even better support to its customers.

Based on WACKER’s Alpha³ technology, these novel polymers can be formulated into tin-free sealants and adhesives that are highly elastic and achieve a low modulus of elasticity. 

In 2024, raw materials suppliers offered new technology to help formulate the latest adhesives and sealants that meet the evolving needs of customers.
