Polylactic acid (PLA) is a well-known bio-based thermoplastic polymer.

Construction markets continue to grow, along with the demand for the required material categories such as wood adhesives.

Raw materials used in the manufacturing of adhesives and sealants represent a small yet important part of the global chemical industry.

Polyscope recently announced the appointment of Maroon Group LLC as a U.S. distributor for its Xiran^® styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymer resins and aqueous solutions.

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), which date back to the 1920s, are critical to the medical, engineering and construction industries.

FINAT defines low-temperature adhesion as the ability of pressure-sensitive coated material to adhere at temperatures below 5°C. Today, many applications require adhesion that must be maintained at temperatures of -25°C or lower.
