How to deal with the change of adhesive?

Adhesive transfer refers to switching from one type of adhesive to another type of adhesive. This may involve different chemical compositions, application requirements and performance characteristics. The following is the advice to deal with the glue transfer:

1. Assess the needs: First, evaluate the reasons and objectives of glue turning. Understand the requirements and performance requirements of new adhesives and their impact on existing applications. Ensure that the new adhesive meets the requirements of the project.
2. Test and verification: Before the actual application, test and verify the performance of the new adhesive. Select appropriate test methods and samples for evaluation, including bond strength, durability, weather resistance, etc. Work with adhesive supplier to obtain necessary technical support and advice.
3. Application adaptation: According to the performance characteristics of the new adhesive, adjust the application method and process. It may be necessary to adjust coating thickness, coating tools, curing time, etc. Ensure that the adhesive can adapt to the new application conditions.
4. Supply chain management: Establish cooperative relationship with new adhesive suppliers to ensure timely supply of required adhesives and optimize inventory management. Understand the supply chain characteristics of new adhesives in order to maintain a continuous supply during the glue transfer process.

Case: A manufacturing company decided to switch the adhesive for its product from a latex adhesive to an epoxy adhesive to improve bonding strength and durability. They have taken the following steps to combat gluing:

– Requirements assessment: They worked with the adhesive supplier to assess the impact of the new adhesive on product performance and to ensure that the new adhesive could meet the project requirements.

– Testing and validation: The company has conducted extensive testing and evaluation to verify the performance of epoxy adhesives. They tested different adhesive formulations and application methods to make sure they fit the requirements of the product.

– Application adaptation: They have adjusted the coating process and curing time to suit the characteristics of the epoxy adhesive. They also adjusted the coating equipment to ensure that the adhesive was evenly distributed and cured correctly.

– Supply chain Management: The company has established close cooperation with epoxy adhesive suppliers to ensure timely supply of the required adhesives. They optimized inventory management to ensure a continuous supply of adhesives.

Through these measures, the company successfully completed the conversion process of adhesives and achieved the expected performance improvement. The new epoxy adhesive meets the requirements of the product and improves the reliability and durability of the product.
