Adhesive tape offers a variety of solutions in the design and manufacturing of electric vehicles, including insulation, mounting and bonding, and thermal interfaces.
Developed using proprietary living anionic polymerization technology, a new acrylic thermoplastic elastomer is suitable as an adhesive for masking tape, packaging, surface protection film, double-sided tape, and as an anti-slip film.
A new acrylic TPE is suitable as an adhesive for masking tape, packaging, surface protection film, double-sided tape, as an anti-slip film, and it has a wide range of applications beyond adhesives.
A new tool developed by scientists at Georgia Tech captures patterns and relationships and learns the grammar and syntax that occur at the atomic and higher levels in polymer structures.

PolyBERT treats chemical structures and connectivity of atoms as a form of chemical language and uses techniques inspired by natural language processing to extract the most meaningful information from chemical structures.
As new paint technology comes on the market, manufacturers of painter’s tapes are developing more targeted adhesives and sealants that create clean lines while solving issues associated with masking rough or difficult-to-stick-to surfaces.
With options like exterior painter’s tape that works on self-cleaning paint and sealant technology that works with paint chemistry to prevent paint bleed, painters now have more specialized tape options to produce professional results under virtually any condition.
Improvements made to the processability of polyamide oligomers resulted in the discovery of a novel soft segment chemistry that is viable not just for waterborne coating application but for elastomers, adhesives, and possibly other urethane applications
Polyurethanes with tertiary polyamide segments have excellent abrasion resistance coupled with high hardness, good hydrolytic stability, improved barrier properties and strong adhesion to various polar substrates.
With the theme, “Building a Sustainable Future,” the conference will focus on key issues facing manufacturers and their suppliers and facilitate informal discussion and networking.
Executives in the adhesives and sealants industry will gather at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, October 23-25 for the Adhesive and Sealant Council’s Executive Leadership Conference.
Enhanced polyurethane solvent-free laminating adhesive systems facilitate the replacement of solvent-based adhesives, while addressing critical challenges of increasing usability.
