| Résumé : |
How often have we heard the term “less is more”? It is a line we use often when talking about topics such as the environment, sustainability, and the “greenness” of a particular item or concept. When it comes to adhesives-and the preservation of the environment by using less adhesive (either with a superior product technology or manufacturing technique)-the idea that “less is more” is more important than ever. From an environmental standpoint, we have already done the bulk of the heavy lifting to make adhesive products green and environmentally friendly. We have reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs), eliminated ozone-depleting solvents and removed nearly all volatiles. These worthy accomplishments are also environmentally responsible. Now that we know that going green is best for our world, we need to work on fine-tuning and optimizing the effectiveness of our technologies. For example, waterborne adhesives have long been used as primary bonding products in industries such as packaging, paper converting, bookbinding, woodworking and product assembly. Traditionally, most of these end-use applications have used highly formulated polyvinyl acetate or vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer-based products to exact a solution to the performance of the product |
