WATER-BASED ADHESIVES: FLEXIBLE, DURABLE, AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE SOLUTION FOR INDUSTRIAL ADHESIVE APPLICATIONS

 “Water-based adhesive technology is a type of glue that is favorable to the environment. Water-based adhesives contain no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them safe for both people and the environment.”

Once the water in the formulation evaporates or absorbs into the substrate, the adhesive forms a bond between the two substrates. They're a common choice for attaching porous substrates because of this procedure.

When the water evaporates or is absorbed by the substrates, these adhesives solidify and gain strength. The substrates must be connected while the glue is still wet after it has been applied. Allowing time for some of the water to evaporate before bonding (set time) frequently improves the initial strength of the adhesive bond and allows for faster assembly. Natural and synthetic polymers that dissolve easily in water are used to make these adhesives. They harden as a result of water evaporation or absorption into the porous substrate.

They're mostly utilized in the paper industry to bond paper and paper products, as well as for moistenable adhesives like stamps, envelopes, and labels.

Types of Water-based Adhesives

Waterborne adhesives can be classified as follows

  • Water-based adhesives manufactured from starch or modified starch are known as starch/dextrin adhesives. They're frequently utilized in paper-related applications, such as bookbinding.
  • Protein/Casein Adhesives are generated from animal milk proteins. They set quickly and are commonly utilized in the food packaging sector.
  • Vinyl and ethylene-vinyl acetate emulsion polymers are used to make vinyl acetate adhesives. They adhere nicely to cellulose-based substrates. These emulsions, despite being bright white, dry to a transparent and flexible glue, making them perfect for bonding wood, paper, and cardboard.
  • Emulsified elastomers are used to make rubber latex adhesives (rubbers). These adhesives make either a strong stiff bond or a more flexible bond, depending on the formulation, and are utilized in applications such as stamp and envelope production, as well as binding fabrics and wood.
  • Polyacrylate emulsions age well and are resistant to a wide range of media. Acrylics based on solvents, on the other hand, are superior. Pressure-sensitive adhesives for labels and tapes, construction adhesives for tile bonding and sealing, and laminating adhesives are the most common applications.
  • Polyurethane emulsions and dispersions offer excellent aging characteristics and are resistant to a wide range of media. They have a high degree of flexibility and adhesion.

Major Market Highlights:

  • Royal Adhesives & Sealants was purchased by H.B. Fuller (US). Customers benefitted from a broader portfolio as well as increased development and manufacturing capabilities as a result of this transaction.
  • H.B. Fuller expanded its business in India by establishing a research and development center at Shirwal, Pune. Experiments, demonstrations, and customer training on the company's hot melt, water-based, anaerobic, and cyanoacrylate technologies are all part of the new R&D center's mission. The company's business in India and adjacent countries was also boosted as a result of the expansion.
  • 3M committed $40 million in Missouri to expand its business. The facility will produce industrial adhesives and tapes for aerospace and other heavy industrial customers across the world.
  • The Henkel Adhesives Innovation Center (HAIC) opened in Shanghai, China, in June 2016. This breakthrough aided the company in expanding its adhesives R&D capabilities and providing innovative market-driven solutions to local APAC clients.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS FOR IMPROVING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN TELECOM INDUSTRY

 If you consider the customer satisfaction index, the telecom industry is probably one of the worst ranking industries. But that was only until 2019. By the end of 2020, together, the sector made sure to climb up the satisfaction rate. And guess what? They will be able to do that. However, it’s just the beginning.  The importance of customer experience is growing like never before. And one tool that’s helping telecom industries is the use of virtual assistants. Did you know that OTT platforms are eroding the revenues of telecom industries? With video-on-demand media, the consumers are trying to cut the cord even more eager than ever before.  However, things are changing. How? Let’s find out! Virtual Assistants Aiding in Better CX in Telecom: Decoding the Ways If the telecom industry upgrades its digital customer engagement scale, it can easily experience the upsides in terms of better engagement, services, resulting in boosting sales. However, telecom operators often don’t have the peo

E-HEALTH: THE BOOM IN DIGITAL HEALTH TO DUISRUPT LIFE SCIENCES AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY

  E-Health is an developing field in the intersection of public health, medical informatics, and business, mentioning to health services and data delivered or enhanced through the Internet and connected technologies. In the broader sense, the term characterizes a technical development and a state of mind, a way of thinking, an attitude, and a commitment for networked, global review, to recover health care locally, regionally, and globally by using information and communication technology. The 5 e's in "E-Health" Efficiency  - one of the promises of e-health is to increase efficiency in health care, thereby decreasing costs. One possible way of reducing costs would be by avoiding duplicative or unnecessary diagnostic or therapeutic interventions through enhanced communication possibilities between health care establishments and patient involvement. Enhancing quality  of care - increasing efficiency involves not only reducing costs but at the same time improving quality. E-

HYDROGEN STORAGE - A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

  Excessive expectations have been met with disappointment in the past with hydrogen technologies. Nonetheless, a rising body of research suggests that these technologies are a viable choice for deep decarbonization of global energy systems, with recent cost and performance advances pointing to economic viability. The cost of producing, transporting, and storing hydrogen has decreased dramatically. This is complemented by an increase in clean technology regulations. As a result, we predict that hydrogen technology will gain traction, particularly in the transportation and alternative energy generation sectors. The transition to a sustainable energy economy needs an energy carrier capable of large-scale carbon-free energy transfers. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier with the potential to benefit the whole energy sector. However, storing significant amounts of hydrogen is difficult. There are numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve a cost-effective hydrogen cycle. Hydro
