Avery Dennison Performance Tapes recently launched its lamination adhesives portfolio, which reportedly enables durable labels to maintain critical product messaging over an item’s lifetime.

Mactac Industrial Tapes has announced the addition of a new high-performance acrylic adhesive tape to its Macbond product line.

Avery Dennison Performance Tapes has introduced its Core Series™ portfolio, which features adhesive technologies ranging from general-purpose rubber to silicone in a variety of tape constructions.

Liquid polysulfide polymers are aliphatic resins that provide beneficial chemical resistivity, weatherability, gasoline and jet fuel resistance, and gas barrier properties, as well as easy processability. In the cured state, these polysulfides feature plasto-elastomeric properties in which polysulfides can undergo self-healing.

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.

A structural adhesive is a “load-bearing” adhesive that is used to bond a joint and is capable of holding two or more substrates together under stress.
