Covestro is opening a specifically developed, automated laboratory for optimizing coating and adhesive formulations to provide even better support to its customers.
Based on WACKER’s Alpha³ technology, these novel polymers can be formulated into tin-free sealants and adhesives that are highly elastic and achieve a low modulus of elasticity.
This article explores the use of pMDI-based binder additive technology in wood composites, presented at the 2023 Polyurethanes Technical Conference and published with permission of CPI, Center for the Polyurethanes Industry.
Recent developments in pMDI-based binder additive technology are focused on improving processing and performance of wood composite products produced through the use of MDI-based binders.
To compete in the evolving sustainability landscape, manufacturers need to invest in current technologies and new chemistries to develop products with validated sustainability claims.
Examining the manufacturing process and chemistries of key materials used for packaging materials, such as latex binders, can help the industry keep up with the increased demand for parcel shipping while also meeting sustainability requirements.
As suppliers to the building and construction industry strive to provide sustainable products, a plywood manufacturer uses lignin-based binder to reduce carbon emissions of its product.
By prioritizing a more diverse portfolio, such as one that incorporates both styrene acrylic- and acrylic-based latexes, companies can ensure they can adjust their production as needed.
