This article explores the challenge of developing sustainable solutions using the example of two-component plastic packaging for adhesives.

Amid the wave of cutting-edge formulation work, one fundamental processing truth remains: optimal mixing, dispersion, and emulsification are critical for achieving the desired color, gloss, conductivity, stability, adhesion, cure rate, weather resistance, and other properties.

The ROSS CDA-300 Dual Shaft Mixer is engineered for accurate processing of high-performance formulations across a wide range of rheologies, solids loading, operating temperatures, and pressures.

Solenoid valve production demonstrates improved processing stability when automated dispensing of two-component media replaces manual mixing and dosing.

The new CV3evo dissolver has an innovative design and features, improved and standardized workflow, lean management, and special packaging for safe transportation.

ROSS’ new VMC-100-gallon VersaMix multi-shaft mixer for viscous formulations is capable of processing viscous solutions, dispersions, suspensions, and emulsions.

New rotor-stator optimizes deagglomeration, dispersion, and particle size reduction while controlling processing temperature.

New high speed disperser offers versatile and cost-effective high solids mixing.

EMI Mills, specializing in bead mills, mixers, and dispensers, will expand Schold Manufacturing’s product portfolio. 

Parker Hannifin Corp. is investing in a 75,000-sq-ft expansion and modernization of its Parker LORD chemical manufacturing plant in Saegertown, Pa. This expansion to the existing 250,000-sq-ft facility will help enable Parker LORD to increase its share of the growing adhesives market.
