Dow Elastomers will introduce new polymers for hard-to-bond substrates and enhanced formulation flexibility at the World Adhesive & Sealant Conference.

Coatings and adhesives have a lot in common. Unfortunately, it seems to be a fact of life that adhesives formulators rarely read coatings literature, and coatings formulators rarely read adhesives literature.

Pipercross needed to update and improve existing resin mixing, dispensing, and automation processes.

Polyurethane dispensing systems continue to evolve for new processes and economic demands.

Nitrile-phenolic film adhesives are a compelling alternative to liquid adhesives for demanding applications.

Creped tape backings can be used in a variety of applications due to their ability to stretch and conform.

Phthalates serve a vital role in the creation of many polymeric materials.

The directed assembly of fumed silica particles can be used to improve the rheology control of structural adhesives.

Confirming competitive pricing and product availability is a relatively straightforward process, but becoming comfortable with essential technical and performance requirements can be more complicated.
