Laser technology is shaping the future of industrial manufacturing by enabling greater precision and faster production rates using fewer materials and resources. Reliable, high-performance laser systems are essential in meeting these demands. As laser components become more miniaturized, advanced adhesive solutions are becoming increasingly important for joining these components. Laser applications are being used in […]
Bostik and Brückner Maschinenbau (Brückner), a global cast extrusion line manufacturer, have partnered to develop a coextruded, peelable, BOPET lidding film that addresses film producers’ demands for streamlined production efficiencies, improved consumer ease of use, and reduced end-of-life impact through the use of optimized equipment. The partnership is driven by the market’s lack of a […]
A new IGF research project, SteP-in, is being conducted with the SKZ Plastics Center and the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM where these entities are using several non-destructive testing methods to advance the quality assurance of sealing compounds. Modern techniques such as air ultrasound and optical profilometry are used to determine […]
Bonding materials such as metals, plastics, ceramics, or composites presents unique challenges. Variations in thermal expansion, elasticity, and surface chemistry complicate the process of creating reliable bonds. However, recent advances in adhesives and protective coatings have significantly improved performance and reliability. Let’s explore how these developments are driving progress across industries. The Challenge of […]
Achieving green manufacturing is a key step to achieve the global goal of carbon neutrality. According to the plan of the U.S. biomass technology roadmap, 25% of petroleum-based organic compounds will be replaced by biobased compounds by 2030. According to the EU’s industrial biotechnology vision plan, biological-based raw materials will replace 6% to 12% of […]
