ADHESIVES & BONDING CONFERENCE
Designing bonds that last a lifetime
Selecting and validating the right adhesive to create strong and durable bonds that meet existing assembly line requirements can be a drain on resources.
At the Adhesives and Bonding Expo, you will gain invaluable insights on process optimization and bond design from industry leaders such as Bostik, HB Fuller, Microsoft, GE Healthcare, Center of Automotive Research, and Sika who will share their expert knowledge on application requirements; bonding smooth, greasy or dissimilar materials; optimizing surface preparation, dispensing, drying, curing and fixture times; real world durability testing in extreme environments, and much more.
3 Theatres will cover 3 Conference Stages:
Stage 1: Trends & Applications
Stage 2: Manufacturing & Testing
Stage 3: Materials (Roundtables)
Take a peek into what you can expect at Adhesive & Bonding Expo 2020
