The Latest Advances in Structural Adhesives and Flexible Materials for Design, Manufacturing, and Assembly

This webinar will discuss the latest advances in flexible materials and structural adhesives for a range of design, manufacturing, and assembly applications. It will include an evaluation of fastening technologies, such as “instant” assembly methods using thermal joining, mechanical fastening, and tapes, as well as the benefits of new structural liquid adhesives. It will offer insight into the role of the converter in the design process, from testing and materials and adhesive selection, to fabrication, manufacturing and assembly.

The webinar will cover:

• The benefits and considerations of structural adhesives vs. alternative methods
• Strength and cost data for structural adhesives vs. mechanical fasteners, welding, and acrylic foam tapes
• Joint design guidelines
• Real life examples of Loctite structural adhesives in action

What Attendees Will Learn:

• Why adhesives are 2x stronger than most mechanical fastening methods
• Why adhesives offer a cost advantage vs. traditional methods
• How converters can play an important role in helping design engineers take advantage of structural adhesives for products and applications
