Rapid change has become the norm in today’s marketplace. With it comes even greater pressure for new technologies to accommodate manufacturing needs to fulfill the consumer demand now and in the future. From the marine industry to wood, and from transportation to aerospace, adhesives are an integral component in creating the innovative, new technologies necessary for the most modern consumer products.

Identifying the proper adhesive processing equipment for a particular job can seem daunting. The first step is to determine the appropriate material(s) for the task at hand. Things to consider when choosing a material: Are you working with a single component or multiple component materials? Does the material require heat? Will you need spacer beads to maintain a bond line? What is the cure time and material strength? The answers will help determine the precise system specifications.
