The goal of the work has been to check a possibility of improvement of electrical properties of electrically conductive adhesives with isotropic electrical conductivity to edge these properties toward to properties of solders. The electrical...
The object of the present invention was to provide moisture-curing alkoxysilane-functional hot-melt adhesives which are easy to prepare, have a good storage stability when stored in heat and nevertheless cure very rapidly on access of moisture and...
Oil pipelines require good thermal control in order to avoid viscosity increases in the oil, which makes pumping the oil more difficult. Therefore, in some cases, heating or cooling trace lines need to be attached to the transportation pipeline in...
Industrie Chimiche Forestali (ICF) has been engaged since 1918 in the production and trading of adhesives dedicated to the Footwear Industry. ICF is at the forefront of the shoe market in term of environmentally-friendly materials. The Merquinsa...
According to a recent report from the Freedonia Group, demand for medical and dental adhesives and sealants in the US is forecast to rise 7.6% per year to $1.8
billion in 2011 (from $1.3 billion in 2007 and $1.5 billion in 2009). The best...
This article will focus on the use of soybean proteins in adhesive systems. The major market opportunity is as a wood adhesive or as a binder in the manufacture of wood composites in the construction industry. Currently much attention is being paid...
This editorial describes various technical alternatives to improving the toughness in structural adhesives. Toughening, when done correctly, generally results in formulation having improved impact resistance and peel strength without detracting from...
The first ever elastomeric adhesive was prepared at the end of the 18th Century, consisting of naphtha solutions of natural rubber. The trees that probably produced that rubber have probably been blighted by a fungus called Microcyclus ulei, which is...
This editorial looks at delayed action pressure sensitive adhesives, and describes formulations that can be heat activated. Major applications are linerless pressure sensitive tapes and labels, but other innovative uses are being explored.
An...
