Preventing stringing reduces downtime on packaging production lines. Implementing some simple processes can reduce stringing and adhesive buildup on hot melt adhesive equipment.

Packaging adhesives play an important role in providing a longer shelf life. Adhesives and films are vital to the freshness of the contents, whether adhering layers in flexible packages or sealing the cartons.

We see an increasing interest by consumers to also understand the safety and environmental impact of their personal hygiene products. 

Film and paste adhesives, wet peel-ply and potting compounds enable the aviation industry to utilize advanced materials that contribute to lightweighting, more efficient designs, and improved sustainability.

The 21^st century has seen the continued rise of “smart” devices. Within two short decades the Internet of Things (IoT) has become embedded into virtually every facet of global culture.

Vehicle lightweighting is a continuing pursuit for automotive designers. What started as a way to reduce emissions has become an imperative as automakers (OEMs) continuously innovate to remove even more weight to make way for battery packs that power battery electric vehicles (BEVs). 

The use of in-vehicle electronics will continue to grow at a rapid rate over the next 10 years to reach approximately 50 percent of a vehicle’s value before 2030. Adhesive and sealant solutions ensure that in-vehicle electronic systems and overall vehicle electronics perform at optimal levels to deliver an intelligent, connected experience for driver safety and satisfaction. 

Safety is of critical importance in any vehicle, regardless of propulsion system. While electric vehicles (EVs) are required to meet the same Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards as conventional vehicles powered by internal combustion engines (ICEs), they present new safety challenges. To mitigate these emerging risks, the automotive industry is working to design-in technologies that ensure the highest level of active and passive safety protection.
