Bookbinding is an important application area for adhesives, and requirements are becoming more demanding.

Here we list the past year’s 25 most-viewed features/case study articles on the Adhesives & Sealants Industry website.

Avery Dennison Performance Tapes recently announced an enhanced global website for converters, designers, engineers, and specifiers who seek new ways to improve assembly and manufacturing processes through the use of pressure-sensitive tapes and adhesive solutions.

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).

A new orange fluorescent UV adhesive from Panacol is reportedly specially formulated for bonding plastics.

Adhesive and coating systems that use ultraviolet (UV) or visible light to begin the curing are intrinsically very attractive systems to the manufacturing engineer, allowing assembly of components and then “curing on command” by exposing to the radiation.

Electrolux is a global manufacturer of appliances ranging from washers and dryers to water heaters and dishwashers.

The manufacturing community will assemble October 22-24 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill., for the seventh annual ASSEMBLY Show.
