2020 World Adhesive and Sealant Conference keynote insights, opportunities in EV battery assembly, packaging and filling, bio-based materials, and more!
Every four years, the adhesives and sealants community gathers at the World Adhesive and Sealant Conference (WAC) to explore opportunities for education, networking, and growth. This year’s event, hosted by the Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) and co-organized by the Asia Regional Adhesive Council (ARAC) and FEICA (association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry), will be held April 20-22 at the Chicago Hilton in Chicago, Ill.
While many filling technologies exist, gravimetric or net weight fillers remain a predominant fill method in the CASE industry. These fillers utilize a scale to measure the precise amount of product dispensed to a container.
In addition to a low carbon footprint, polylactic acid brings value to multiple applications through performance attributes such as a high modulus, excellent solvent and grease resistance, and food contact compliance.
Combining a silyl-terminated polyether with epoxy technology as a two-component system provides a balance of high-strength performance and flexibility with bonding properties similar to traditional epoxies.
Adhesives, sealants, and heat transfer materials used in battery assembly operations will find myriad opportunities in the exciting electric vehicle market.
Electric vehicles (EVs) have been rapidly adopted in recent years, and the rate of market growth has shown to be significantly higher than that of the fuel-injected automotive market. Indeed, the global stock of electric cars surpassed five million in 2018.
This second installment of a two-part series higlights the value proposition of independent material testing and validation to high-value end-use markets.
Independent testing and third-party validation of application-specific and customer-required adhesive products are expected across the value chain. It is especially important to validate adhesive performance for the electronics industry.
World Adhesive and Sealant Conference attendees will be able to listen to industry leaders share their thoughts on a broad range of topics influencing the industry.
The 2020 World Adhesive and Sealant Conference (WAC2020) will provide myriad opportunities for adhesives and sealants professionals to gather and learn about the latest products and technologies that the industry has to offer.
