Evolving materials and equipment enable manufacturers to use UV-cure adhesives that are more versatile, cost effective and environmentally friendly than ever.
Conferences and trade shows keep people informed about the latest products, processes and technological innovations in their respective industries. For many professionals who work with UV-cure adhesives, the biennial RadTech conference and annual winter meeting are the main events to attend to stay in the know on ultraviolet technology.
Earlier this month, nearly 1,500 engineers, salespeople and other adhesive specialists met at the winter meeting in San Francisco to do just that. One was Doug McKinzie, vice president of specialty products for Novagard Solutions, which has made 100-percent-solids UV-cure silicone adhesives and coatings since 2007.
