Health first and foremost
Paper, wood, leather, plastics, metals, glass, rubber – the number and type of different materials that need to be bonded together in household and hobby applications is wide indeed. And the range of adhesives required is thus similarly varied. It extends from simple glues and all-purpose adhesives to rapidly drying two-pack bonding products. Despite the different applications involved, however, consumers tend to have the same requirements: adhesives must be harmless to health, environmentally friendly and also smart or easy to use. Working closely with adhesive manufacturers, Cognis develops individual, tailored solutions offering zero emissions.
