Innovation and the environment at the heart of its business
Innovation and the protection of human health and the environment lie at the heart of Bostik’s development, as the company focuses in particular on:
- Renewable energies, by meeting the specific bonding and sealing requirements of manufacturers and installers of solar and wind power equipment
- The manufacture of products that are less harmful and more environmentally sound (e.g. solvent-free adhesives and low-volatility organic compound adhesives).
Bostik boasts three cutting-edge technologies which ensure the company’s leading position and generate 60% of its sales:
- Elastic bonding. This component is used in materials for the transport, construction and assembly industries to provide high resistance to impact and thermal variation
- Polymer-modified binders (hydraulic binders) impart high adhesive power and crack resistance for construction applications (tiles, joints, insulating and sealing materials). They are used in external insulation systems to deliver greater energy efficiency in buildings
- PSA hotmelt adhesives are present in particular in babies diapers, transparent labels, and aerospace components. These solvent-free adhesives are environmentally sound and ensure adhesion onto uneven surfaces.
The R&D expertise that Arkema brings to us helps us develop ever more glues referred to as "smart adhesives", or multifunctional glues, which do a great deal more than just stick things together."
