  • The need to keep down levels of volatile isocyanate emitted from polyurethane adhesives often makes them highly viscous. There are ways around this, however, that as well as lowering viscosity can also improve adhesion to low surface energy...
  • This article provides an introduction to polyurea chemistry. It reviews the advantages and disadvantages of these interesting polymers in adhesive and sealant applications. Formulation principles are given to achieve adhesive and sealant products...
  • Increasing concern about volatile organic compound emissions, embodied in building standards like LEED and Greenguard, are encouraging the uptake of high-solids adhesives. Use of surfactants and other stabilizers allow fillers to supplement the high...

  • Mar. 10 - Hot Melt Raw Material Availability by Andrew Extance
    Backbone polymers, tackifiers and waxes all face availability issues in 2010. Moves to lighter feedstocks for cracking, increased demand and reduced supply of other raw materials look set to create a challenging year for hot-melt producers. Some of...
  • This editorial describes developments that are taking place in on-line methods of tracking and controlling polymerization processes. Focus is given to a relatively new process (at least for thermoplastics) and one that appears to be very useful –...
  • Feb. 10 - Tapping Trees for Adhesive Raw Materials by Andy Extance
    Talking about "tapping trees" for raw materials might still bring to mind 18th century scientists, exploiting the rubber ooze to make elastomeric adhesives. However waste from lumber mills can produce lignin- or tannin-based adhesives for wood...
