As a result, it’s understandable why PSA tape is becoming a popular choice for markets ranging from automotive to construction. Yet it’s important for these manufacturers to know how PSA tape works on different surfaces to fully anticipate its performance expectations.

The medical industry has grown dramatically in the variety and sophistication of its polymer applications, particularly in the manufacture of medical devices and unit packaging.

Wearable medical devices that gather valuable data and enable patients to take control of their health are becoming ubiquitous, and it’s advances in the adhesives industry that has made this trend possible. For some, it’s just a matter of tracking fitness data, while for others, the data helps them to manage medical conditions such as diabetes.

Rubber membranes flat roofs are part of most flat roofs. The materials on flat roofs are mostly rubber. There are two types of roofing systems used for rubber membrane roofs

Changing consumer trends taking hold at different rates globally will make hot-melt adhesivesa dynamic market expected to grow to more than $7.5 billion by 2021, according to a recent report from Smithers Apex.

These soft grips could be made out of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compound. TPEs can be safe for food-contact applications, such as soft spoons for babies, and for healthcare applications, such as dental guards.

In the automotive and truck manufacturing industry, design and production components must meet the requirements for accuracy, quality, safety, reliability, dependability and repeatability.

Orthodontic braces not only contribute to creating an attractive smile but also improve the dental health of those who undergo treatment. Occasionally, patients can feel discomfort caused by friction from the wires or brackets against the mouth.
