Formulating for the needs of tomorrow with (Un)Common Bonds
Adhesives and sealants are key and core to almost every product we use, every day. Unless something is grown or developed from a single piece of substrate, attachment is necessary when creating most any product. As products in this world become ever more complex, attachment requirements become greater along with a need for higher efficiency. As such, lightweight products with less space available for connection are at the heart of what is driving the adhesives and sealants market growth.

4 core tenets of Adhesives (Un)Common Bonds:
- Strong, but Lightweight: From airplanes to automobiles to aquariums, virtually every industry is moving its developments toward lighter weight technology, without sacrificing strength of connection. Adhesives offer these benefits over mechanical fastening by introducing homogenous, even distribution of bonding and utilizing materials which are inherently less dense. Additionally, adhesives offer the benefit of rigidity OR flexibility, which is very important in many new designs involving composites and similar materials.
- Sustainable: The push toward lightweight materials is also a driver toward sustainability. Lower weight transportation vehicles means less fuel is consumed. By sourcing sustainable chemicals for production of adhesives—which are taking the place of mechanical fasteners—the market is able to drive the green claim two fold on reduction of metals and similar mined materials that are highly detrimental to the environment.
- Expansion of At-Home: Whether it’s the pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) on the label from your favorite online outlet or the caulking around your new bathtub installed in your latest DIY project, everything done at home is increasing the demand on adhesives and sealants.
- Univar Solutions at Your Disposal: Given our breadth of suppliers, Univar Solutions has access to the most robust offerings available and desired.
