Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Adhesives and sealants are two groups of formulated products that are chemically similar but functionally different. They are made from blends of plastic resins and synthetic rubber elastomers with certain additives used to enhance their characteristics. Adhesive products are used to create a bond between two different or similar materials, whereas sealants are used to create an impenetrable barrier to gas or moisture. Various industries use adhesives and sealants, including construction, consumer products, assembly, packaging, labeling and transportation.

Along with the transition from conventional materials like glass, stone, wood, and metal to lighter and more economical petroleum-based plastics, the adhesives and sealants industry has made much progress since these non-conventional materials need new methods of assembly and suitable bonding components. Major factors influencing the growth of adhesives and sealants industry include the stability of many secondary industries using its products, the availability of raw materials, and environmental concerns.

General purpose adhesives include formaldehyde resins, starch and dextrin adhesives, styrene-butadiene latex binders, natural rubber latex, hotmelts, solvent based adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, and inorganic adhesives. Specialty adhesives, which are formulated for specific applications, include polyurethane, reactive hotmelt polyurethane, epoxies, cyanoacrylate, anaerobics, reactive acrylics, and radiation cured adhesives. Applications for adhesives vary widely, from the use of plant starch in box manufacturing to the use of specialty, high value adhesives in electronics.

The important types of sealants include silicones, polyurethanes, latex, polysulfide, and polyvinyl. Construction is the main application. Silicones and polyurethanes are increasingly being specified because of their ease of application, high performance, and durability.

SCOPE OF STUDY

This report contains:

• Descriptions of various adhesives and sealants, and their current and potential applications
• The current market status of adhesives and sealants, and forecasts of global growth for the next 5-year period 2007 through 2012
• Technological issues, including the newest developments, and a patent analysis
• A discussion of the raw material required for global production of adhesives and sealants and the effect of raw material supply over production, pricing and distribution
• An examination of major manufacturers and suppliers of adhesives and sealants.

INFORMATION SOURCES

The primary information sources include manufacturers and suppliers of adhesives and sealants around the world, raw material suppliers for manufacture of these products, major users of these products, research organizations, governmental agencies, trade associations and various equipment suppliers.
