Where does the technical information in your articles come from?

Our articles explain technologies and applications using technical information, reliable sources and application knowledge. Product-specific performance and compliance claims need supporting documentation for the particular product and use.

When selecting a product, confirm the current datasheet, relevant test evidence and the conditions of your application. Discuss your requirements with us.

What is your policy regarding third-party content? Can I submit material for publication?

Even though we write all our content ourselves, we are open to third party content.
Please contact us to further discuss the possibilities.

Do you also manufacture adhesives and coatings?

Yes. We produce and supply adhesives and coatings, including custom-made solutions for industrial applications. We increasingly focus on more sustainable products while maintaining or improving the required performance and quality.

Is adhesives+coatings a Research Institute?

We are an industrial adhesive and coating producer and supplier, rather than an academic research institute. We can discuss application challenges and collaboration with research or engineering teams. Explore university and industry collaboration.

When you say "independent", what does it mean?

We operate independently and assess solutions against the requirements of the customer and application. Material compatibility, processing, performance and sustainability goals guide the discussion. Product-specific documentation and testing help establish suitability.

Can students discuss adhesive and coating research with you?

Yes. We welcome discussions about material research and industrial application challenges. Describe your materials, project objectives and the properties you need to investigate. Read about our university collaboration.

How does adhesives+coatings work?

We develop, produce and supply adhesive and coating solutions tailored to your project. Many products are made to order. We increasingly focus on more sustainable options without compromising the performance and quality your application requires. Tell us about your project so we can discuss a suitable solution.

How do you approach more sustainable adhesives and coatings?

Our focus is increasingly on greener adhesives and coatings. Many products are custom-made, and we believe demand for sustainable solutions will continue to grow. We assess environmental improvements alongside the quality and performance required by the application.

Bio-based content, biodegradability, compostability, recyclability and reduced emissions describe different properties. Claims need relevant evidence for the specific product and its intended use.
