Research & innovation
In-house development for industrial adhesive performance.
The Glue Company’s R&D function supports new formulations, product upgrades, application testing and the investigation of customer-specific bonding requirements.
Formulation loop
Research is connected to materials, machinery and end use.
- 01
Input
Development starts with the substrate combination, surface condition, application method and intended end use.
- 02
Evaluation
Laboratory work assesses the properties relevant to the product family, grade and application requirement.
- 03
Iteration
Results from evaluation, production trials and customer use can inform the next formulation decision.
- 04
Production transfer
When a formulation meets the agreed evaluation criteria, its parameters transfer into controlled manufacture.
Testing environment
Testing focuses on measurable formulation properties.
Laboratory work may include viscosity, solids content, pH, bonding strength and shelf-life stability. Additional evaluation depends on the product family, grade and application requirement.
Production transfer
Approved parameters carry into controlled manufacture.
Formulation improvement is guided by laboratory evaluation, production trials and customer use within the agreed product requirement.
