Teknor Apex Co. is addressing one of the great questions of the plastics materials market: What exactly is a thermoplastic elastomer? The Pawtucket, R.I.-based materials firm recently posted a slideshow on its website describing the six different types of TPEs: TPO, TPV, SBC, TPU, COPE and COPA. The blog entry appropriately is titled TPE Alphabet Soup.
ST. PAUL, Minn.—H.B. Fuller Co. signed a definitive agreement to purchase Royal Adhesives & Sealants L.L.C. from its private equity owner American Securities L.L.C. for about $1.58 billion.
Automotive Adhesives and Sealants Market to Reach $3.8 Billion. Silicone sealants occupied the largest share, with over 32% of the volume in 2016.
ExxonMobil acknowledged Tuesday that Hurricane Harvey damaged two of its refineries, causing the release of hazardous pollutants.
China International Adhesives and Sealants Exhibition is organized jointly by CCPIT Chemical Industry Branch and China Adhesive and Adhesive Tape Industry Association, it is successfully hold during Aug 23-25 in shanghai.
The global market opportunity in wood adhesives and binders is projected to rise to US$17.77 bn by 2020, expanding at a CAGR of 4.4% to 2020.

As per a latest study by Global Market Insights, Inc. Medical Styrenic Polymers Market share will reach over USD 1.5 billion by 2024.
The production of styrenic polymers is done by the polymerization of styrene monomers and chemical compounds such as butadiene, acrylonitrile, and others. Owing to the increasing applications such as in packaging, automotive industry, building and construction, and appliances, the production of styrene-based derivatives is a growing trend.
Styrenic block copolymer is the most predominantly consumed member of TPE family. These polymers are utilized in a wide range of applications which demand for high performance. They possess properties identical to that of rubber but are developed as polymers. Due to their bulk usage in comparison to other TPEs, they are the lowest priced thermoplastic elastomers.
Growing demand from applications, such as paper and packaging and building and construction is expected to fuel the growth of the adhesives and sealants market.
