TRANSCRIPT
Attend the conference to learn about:• Next-generation adhesive
and foam technologies for your specific application and assembly line requirements
• Property and process improvements such as thermal resistance, UV resistance, faster curing times and surface treatment
• Best practices and advances in performance testing of adhesives and foams, such as real-world durability testing in extreme environments, high loading rate and standardizing testing methods
• Key industry drivers such as sustainability, regulations and end-user market trends
Look out for fresh interactive session such as:
• Buyers’ guides: aimed at helping buyers select the right adhesive and foam technologies for their applications
• Roundtables: focused, in-depth discussions on topics such as surface preparation and understanding flammability behavior of adhesives and foams
• End-user Q&As: all about understanding end-user challenges such as leveraging application requirements, assembly line or cost limitations
• Industry spotlight: interview-style session that highlights specific end-user industry challenges and requirements
