Featured White Paper
Replacement of High VOC Products Using Moisture Reactive Technology
Author     :  Jonathan Stuart
Company :  Bostik, Inc.
Traditionally, the sealant and adhesive industry`s product response to applications requiring fast grab and green strength is to sell solvated rubber products. As solvent evaporates it leaves behind a sticky, tacky adhesive/sealant that demonstrates fast grab and green strength. These products are subject to high shrinkage, high VOC content, flammability (low flash point) and generally do not provide any chemical bonding for adhesion, but they are inexpensive to manufacture and sell and are adequate for most applications.
