Julian Bond, R&D Engineering Manager of Parafix Tapes and Conversions Ltd, gave us a talk yesterday afternoon on the various benefits of using pressure sensitive adhesives.

He explained how adhesives could save on material costs and production time, making the manufacturing process much leaner and cost effective. He also touched on how adhesives prove useful in lowering a product’s weight, especially important in the automotive and aviation industry where lowering a vehicle’s weight by a mere 10 grams can give a competitive edge.

Julian also touched on other areas of interest to our projects including legislation and thinking about the waste left at the end of our products’ life cycles.

Thanks Julian
