Environmentally Friendly Adhesives Account For A High Proportion Of Japanese Adhesives Market

The development of adhesives in Japan presents new features. With the recovery of economy in the past few years, the production of adhesives in Japan has been increasing steadily, and the environmental protection adhesives occupy a higher proportion.

In recent years, polyvinyl acetate emulsion, vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion (such as VAE emulsion), and reactive hot-melt adhesive, cyanoacrylate resin, polyurethane adhesive, acrylate pressure sensitive adhesive, and alpha maleic anhydride glue and other products have been developing rapidly. In the field of carpentry and construction, the demand for vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion and waterborne polyurethane has increased, and the demand for elastic adhesives for porcelain bonding and panels has increased. In the packaging field, the non comminuted hot melt adhesives for recycled paper, the acrylic emulsion for laminated products, and the application of polyurethane dispersion adhesive are expanded; in automotive parts, such as adhesives (such as pre coated anaerobic adhesive screws), and the amount of reactive hot-melt adhesive used for interior decoration, the requirements of the elastic hot melt adhesive for closed type beam lamps are shown; the multifunctional UV curing adhesive is favored in the field of electronics and electrical appliances.
