I was brought up using solvent-based adhesives, but they don’t seem to be as common these days. Is it just a safety issue? Are any of these adhesives still available?
Solvent-based adhesives were traditionally attractive systems for both industrial users and consumers. They are low-cost systems that dry quickly and frequently give high performance, particularly on plastics where the solvents soften or dissolve the surface layers.
While adhesives have been tools for human ingenuity since the very beginning, it's been a long road to the sophisticated automotive adhesives preferred by today's OEMs.
It’s been said that hindsight is 2020. To usher in the new decade, we’d like to offer a retrospective on the automotive adhesives—both liquids and pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes and films—that continue to redefine the industry.
Designs for consumer electronics continue to evolve, and pressure-sensitive tape manufacturers are addressing those changing needs with products that go beyond simple bonding.
As the marketplace for consumer electronics devices becomes more sophisticated, the adhesive products that hold them together have to be just as versatile and multifunctional. Consumers have demanded their devices get sleeker, more powerful, and lighter, putting demands on manufacturers.
