    The European Adhesive and Sealant Industry Facts & Figures 2020 World adhesive and sealant sales 04 Europe’s share of the global adhesive and sealant industry 06 European adhesive and sealant market evolution 08 Sales in Europe by country 10 Adhesive and sealant end-use sectors 12 Adhesive and sealant formulation technologies 14 Adhesive and sealant producers in Europe 16 R&D spending 18 Employment 20 COVID-19 Impact 22 2 Facts & Figures 2020 Although adhesives and sealants play an essential role in a huge range of consumer, professional and industrial products, they are largely invisible once applied. As a result, there is little awareness of the adhesive and sealant industry and the benefits it brings. The aim of FEICA’s 2020 Facts & Figures is to provide a concise overview of the European adhesive and sealant industry. This specialty chemical sector, which represents about 2% of the total European chemical industry’s turnover, contributes more than 17 billion euros to the EU economy and employs more than 45,000 people. Adhesives and sealants: a history of innovation The first use of bonding technology by humans can be dated to around 200,000 B.C., when birch-bark-tar was used to glue stone arrowheads to a shaft. Subsequently, humans used a range of natural materials – such as blood and animal protein, fish, resins from trees, natural rubber and milk protein – as bases for adhesives and sealants. Towards the end of the 19th Century, synthetic materials began to be used, spawning many more innovative adhesives and sealants. A dynamic and successful industry Today, the European adhesive and sealant industry is a success story that makes many everyday products possible, contributes to the economy, fosters sustainable development, encourages innovation and offers stimulating careers for people with a wide range of skills.

  • Micro-Fibrillated Cellulose in Adhesive Systems for the Production of Wood-Based Panels
    molecules Article Micro-Fibrillated Cellulose in Adhesive Systems for the Production of Wood-Based Panels Emmanouil Karagiannidis *, Charles Markessini and Eleftheria Athanassiadou CHIMAR HELLAS S.A.,15 km National Road, Thessaloniki–Polygyros, 57001 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected] (C.M.); [email protected] (E.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2310-424167 Academic Editors: Alejandro Rodríguez, Eduardo Espinosa and Fabrizio Sarasini Received: 31 July 2020; Accepted: 18 October 2020; Published: 21 October 2020 Abstract: Micro-Fibrillated Cellulose (MFC) is a new type of bio-based additive, coming from wood cellulose. It can compete and substitute oil derived chemicals in several application fields. In the present work, the use of micro-fibrillated cellulose, in waterborne adhesive systems applied in the manufacture of composite wood-based panels was evaluated. Research was conducted to test the potential of improving the performance of wood-based panel types such as particleboard, waferboard or randomly-oriented strand board and plywood, by the application of MFC and the substitution of conventional and non-renewable chemical compounds. The approaches followed to introduce MFC into the adhesive systems were three, i.e., MFC 2% suspension added during the adhesive resin synthesis, MFC 10% paste admixed with the already prepared adhesive resin and MFC 2% suspension admixed with the already prepared resin. It was found that MFC improves not only the performance of the final wood panel products but also the behaviour of the applied adhesive polymer colloids (e.g., rheology improvement), especially when admixed with the already prepared resins. Moreover, it was proven that when MFC is introduced into the adhesive resin system, there is a possibility of decreasing the resin consumption, by maintaining the board performance.

Kinetics of emulsion polymerization of hydrophilic vinyl monomers in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone and technological principles of their synthesis are determined. Reasonable technological parameters in the synthesis of copolymers are determined. Physicochemical properties of the synthesized copolymers (surface tension, the size of latex particles, and pH) are determined. Synthesized graf copolymers were used to create high-adhesion polymer-monomer compositions. Tese compositions have high reactivity at room temperature. It can be regulated by the nature of the polymer matrix and the introduction of comonomers and fllers due to the infuence of physicochemical factors on the process of polymer formation. Te rate of polymerization and the degree of monomer conversion largely depend on the nature of the polymer matrix.

  • Choice of Structural Adhesives
    Choice of Structural Adhesives OPTI 521 Tutorial by Tianquan Su Abstract This tutorial focuses on introduction to polymer adhesives. Basic principles are introduced about choice of polymer structural adhesives used in opto‐mechanics. The fundamentals of adhesives are addressed. Main classes of polymer adhesives and their properties are described. Basic steps are provided to help make choice during designing. Introduction Various adhesives have found welcome places in optical instrument design and manufacture as replacements for screws, rivets, clamps, and other forms of fasteners. When used in structural bonding applications, they always function as integral components in the ensemble rather than as separate entities. Bonded structures are often lighter in weight, lower in cost, and easier to assemble than those made by mechanical methods. They also distribute stresses more uniform‐ ly than mechanical fasteners and are more or less flexible. This is a highly desirable feature in some applications involving high mechanical forces or when damping is needed. Among com‐ mon adhesive material classes, such as polymers, metals (solders), and inorganic glass powders (“frits”), polymers are the most widely used ones. The following discuss will focus within poly‐ mers. Adhesive fundamentals The basic function of adhesive is to join parts. They offer convenient or cost‐effective alterna‐ tives to conventional joining methods such as soldering, welding and bolting. Some materials need adhesively bonded joins for optimum or adequate performance, for example: joining of notch sensitive “brittle” materials that are intolerant of bolt holes (e.g., engineering composites, ceramics, and glasses). Some common adhesive material classes are: polymers, metals (solders), and Inorganic glass powders (“frits”, solder glasses).

  • Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
    TECHNICAL TIP PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVES The pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) is the integral component of any pressure sensitive media or tape. It is often the unseen component of the product, since the middle layer of pressure sensitive media is sandwiched between the facestock and liner. Many pressure sensitive adhesives are clear and therefore not easily detected. On tape products, the adhesive is between the two layers of facestock in a roll and is often used without the applicator noting the existence of the adhesive. As long as the tape sticks during application, no one give the adhesive much notice because it is doing its job. If a pressure sensitive product fails it is usually the adhesive that gets the blame. Most of the time the pressure sensitive adhesive is not the primary reason for an adhesion failure but unfortunately the easiest component to assign blame. A pressure sensitive adhesive is a material that will hold two surfaces together solely by surface contact. This bond is accelerated by the application of external pressure to the adhesive. PSA’s are able to bond a wide variety of materials such as papers, plastics, metals, wood and glass. A PSA is a dry solid that does not require activation by water, solvent, or heat. Pressure sensitive adhesives are permanently tacky at room temperature. Pressure sensitive adhesives can be used as replacement to screws, rivets, nuts and bolts, clips, and any other form of attachment. Ease of application makes PSA’s worthy of consideration in many manufacturing processes and makes pressure sensitive media an excellent choice for point of purchase applications and general purpose graphics.
