Building & Construction
|
The current building and construction marketplace is highly region-focused with specific requirements for various applications.
Demands for new products are driving the growth of new adhesives and the way they are being used. Local environmental regulations are a special driver of change,
resulting in reduced use of solvent containing adhesives, both in the home for DIY and on the building site
Conventional hot melts, water-based adhesives, and solvent-based adhesives are all used in a variety of applications including flooring, wall covers,
insulation, panel lamination, tile and ceramic cements, MDF and chipboard veneer laminations, edge-veneering, and wood and fiberglass composites.
Sealants are also used
for a variety of internal and external applications.
Key technical requirements for building & construction adhesives are:
- Precise viscosity control for optimized adhesive application
- Open and setting time
- Correct adhesion/cohesion balance
- Aging and weathering stability
- Adhesion to a variety of dissimilar substrates
- Good low temperature performance
