In fact, too much “strength” can work against the requirements of a permanent glass adhesive. One way an adhesive strength is measured is its hardness via …
MVTR (and why it’s so critical) In assembling thermal glass window panels you’ve probably heard the term “MVTR” and probably have a general idea of what it means and how it works. True or not we want to highlight the significance of MVTR and why it makes a difference in how well a thermal adhesive …

When passion brings adhesion!
The science of adhesives is about how things “Stick Together” and it operates on obvious physical levels as well as (more importantly) molecular levels. So why do things stick together (or fall apart)? It’s all about forces, let’s dive in. The Science of Adhesives Part 1 (What they are and what they do – and …
Sealant U. Article 1 How many ways are there to determine the Human history of adhesives? The first Human uses of adhesives were of natural formation.
