The Europe contact adhesive market size was USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the easy & fast adhesion, high strength, and resistance to aging, heat, oils, and chemicals.
An adhesive is a substance that is used to bind two surfaces together. Contact adhesives are employed for high strength binding of different materials. They are also known as semi-structural adhesives. The surfaces of both substrates to be bonded are coated with contact adhesive evenly. Once the adhesive dries by the evaporation of solvent, slight pressure is applied, resulting in high initial strength.
The drying process of the adhesives is fast, and the bonded surfaces are difficult to separate. Thus, correct surface arrangement of the materials is crucial before application of the adhesives. The adhesive can withstand rapid changes in respect to temperature, moisture, and vibrations.
Contact adhesives can be utilized for binding of materials such as paper & board, wood, leather, fabric, metal, rubber, glass, ceramic, and plastic. These adhesives are preferred for products with large surface area.
