Building the Future: Tex Year’s Bio-Based Adhesives for Corner Beads and ConstructionThe attachment of various materials to each other is a vital component in construction and one that requires thought to determine what will be most effective and how long it will last. There are numerous adhesives used in construction, with varying degrees of longevity and firmness. They offer a range of benefits and allow for a more practical way to handle some connections, enabling the construction to be completed quicker or the final result to last longer. So, what are the adhesives used in construction and how are they used? Why are Adhesives Used in Construction?Adhesives are a common choice because they’re typically simple to use and provide a long-lasting attachment where needed, especially when two different types of materials are adhered together. They may be used where nails are unadvisable or undesired, such as attaching roofing tiles without creating holes in the tiles themselves. Adhesives are also a sound option when waterproofing is needed, as some types can be used as a sealant and an adhesive. It's also recommended to use adhesives when better bonding is needed. Even if nails or other attachment methods are used, adhesives can be used to make the bond stronger. Depending on the adhesive, it can also be used to temporarily hold something together and allow for it to be easily taken apart when needed. This is perfect for things that may still require nails or screws, but that need to be held in place until the finishing work can be done.  Market Trends for Construction AdhesivesTrends are changing and adhesives are being used more frequently in construction for many new purposes. Some of the major trends for construction adhesives today include the following. ●    More Technological Integration – New technologies are changing the world of adhesives. They are becoming stronger, easier to use, and better for various purposes.

Some of the top times adhesives can be used include the following.●    Affixing Ceramic Tiles – When ceramic tiles are placed, some type of adhesive must be used to attach them to the subfloor to provide stability. The adhesive is typically permanent and designed to be waterproof to minimize potential damage. ●    Carpeting High-Traction Areas – In areas with a lot of people going in and out, adhesives can be used to adhere the carpeting to the subfloor, ensuring it isn’t moved or damaged by everyone walking on it. This is more common in commercial buildings with carpeting. ●    Lamination for Counters – The laminating material used on countertops must be adhered to the underlying wood. The adhesive can be waterproof to help prevent peeling or damage, especially in areas like the kitchen or bathroom. ●    Creating Pre-Fabricated Panels – Pre-fabricated panels are used to create more sustainable housing and buildings, and they’re used in the design of buildings that are intended to be built fast. Often, panels are held together with adhesives to ease the construction of the building. ●    Repairing Flooring Damage – Damaged flooring may be repairable. An adhesive can help reconnect the flooring to the subfloor or hold pieces together permanently to restore the flooring. ●    Affixing Roofing Tiles – Instead of or along with nails, adhesives are used to affix roofing tiles. The adhesive must be waterproof to help secure the tiles and prevent water from reaching the subroof. ●    Affixing Wallpaper or Other Coverings – Wallpaper and other wall coverings are affixed to the drywall using adhesives. These are used to help prevent damage during the installation and ensure all parts of the wallpaper are securely attached. ●    Finishing Drywall – Drywall is installed with nails, but adhesives are often used in the finishing to help create a smooth look, especially around the corners. Adhesives can also be used to help hold the drywall in place. ●    Adding Waterproofing Panels in Bathrooms – In bathrooms, waterproofing panels are often used beneath tiles in the shower or surrounding the tub. Waterproof adhesives are typically used to help hold in the panels and seal them, preventing any water from getting behind the tiles. When adhesives are a good idea, it is important to choose the right one. Look into the different options, like corner bead technology, to make sure it’s going to fit the application and hold as expected.  Corner Bead TechnologyDrywall is used in many different building types, and it’s typically installed using screws. However, adhesives can be used for attaching and holding the drywall as well as for finishing the corners. To finish corners, a corner bead is used. Today’s corner beads come in a variety of styles, depending on the application, to protect the edges of the drywall around a corner. The adhesives used are designed to help hold the corner bead in place, enabling it to stay long-term to protect the drywall. It is crucial to use the right adhesive for the corners to ensure it stays properly and can be finished to look like the rest of the wall. It may be beneficial to look into bio-based options to be more sustainable in the long run. Bio-Based AdhesivesNew technologies and discoveries are being used to create bio-based adhesives to use in the construction process. Ingredients are naturally found, which can make them more sustainable than other options, and they can still be as strong or durable. One of the most promising endeavors today is with bio-based adhesives for engineered wood products. These adhesives help to adhere the engineered wood together or with other materials, creating a more durable product for use in floorings, decks, and more. As more research is done into bio-based adhesives, expect them to become more prominent in the construction industry.  Recommendations by Tex Year for Construction AdhesivesWhen it comes to construction, using the right adhesive is paramount. With how many different types are available, though, it can be hard to find the right one. Some of the types recommended by Tex Year include the following. Hot Melt Adhesives The hotmelt adhesives are easy to apply and strong, and there are a variety of different kinds designed with different purposes in mind, from EVA-based ones that are for general purposes to a PUR that is a structural glue that uses moisture to cure. What is hot melt adhesive used for? It can be used for everything from packaging to bookbinding or furniture construction, making it a great option for a wide range of uses. Corner Bead MeshA corner bead mesh adhesive is ready to use to help finish the corners of walls. It provides protection against damage and helps to prevent potential issues along the corners of walls. This is a commonly used product in construction and can be used whenever drywall is installed. HDPE Waterproof MembranesWaterproofing is done during the construction of buildings in areas that are prone to water damage, such as bathrooms and kitchens. An HDPE waterproof membrane helps seal the surface against water intrusion, protecting the rest of the building materials from damage if there is a lot of moisture in the room or a leak. Glass Wool Insulation AdhesivesSoundproofing can be done between rooms in homes or between homes in larger buildings to help cut down on noise transfer. When the soundproofing is installed, an adhesive is used to hold it in place. A glass wool insulation adhesive is commonly used for this, as it can help bond the outer shell and the other materials used to create soundproofing or to increase insulation. MS Polymer AdhesivesWhen the junction between two materials needs to be flexible or something needs to be adhered without nails, an MS polymer adhesive is a fantastic option. This type of adhesive is highly flexible, so it’s perfect for use in a wide range of situations, and is able to cure at room temperature, so no specialized applications are needed to help it cure. It’s also resistant to mold and can help seal the space, so it is a great choice for many construction projects. Construction requires the use of various adhesives to ensure everything is attached properly and that it will hold securely for as long as possible. When choosing adhesives for construction, be sure to choose the right one based on the job. A number of different types may be needed during the construction of the building. Always refer to the manufacturer’s directions for curing or bonding to ensure the adhesive is used correctly and that it will work as advertised. For any inquiries regarding adhesives for applications above, please feel free to CONTACT US if you need further assistance.

Unveiling the Difference: PUR Edge Sealing vs. General Hot Melt Adhesive Edge SealingIn the realm of woodworking, edge sealing is a critical step to ensure the longevity and aesthetics of furniture, cabinetry, and other wood-based products. Among the various edge sealing options available, PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) and general hot melt adhesives stand out as popular choices. But what sets them apart, and which one is the superior option for your woodworking projects? Let's delve into the comparison. Strength and DurabilityPUR Edge Sealing:PUR adhesive forms an incredibly strong and durable bond. Its chemical reaction with moisture creates a cross-linked polymer structure, resulting in a bond that withstands heat, moisture, and chemicals exceptionally well. This durability ensures that edge-sealed surfaces maintain their integrity over time, even under challenging conditions.General Hot Melt Adhesive:While general hot melt adhesives offer decent bonding strength, they typically lack the durability of PUR adhesives. They may soften or weaken when exposed to heat or moisture, potentially compromising the integrity of the edge-sealed surface over time.Flexibility and VersatilityPUR Edge Sealing:PUR adhesive is known for its flexibility and versatility. It adheres well to a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal, making it suitable for a wide range of woodworking applications. Additionally, PUR adhesive remains flexible after curing, allowing for natural expansion and contraction of wood, which helps prevent edge banding from cracking or delaminating.General Hot Melt Adhesive:While general hot melt adhesives are also versatile, they may not offer the same level of flexibility as PUR adhesives. They can become brittle over time, especially when exposed to temperature fluctuations, which may lead to cracking or delamination of edge-sealed surfaces.Application and Cure TimePUR Edge Sealing:Applying PUR adhesive requires specialized equipment, such as a PUR hot melt glue gun or roller. Once applied, PUR adhesive typically has a longer open time compared to general hot melt adhesives, allowing for precise positioning and adjustment before curing. However, PUR adhesive may have a longer cure time, requiring adequate time for full bond strength to develop.General Hot Melt Adhesive:General hot melt adhesives are easier to apply and have a shorter cure time compared to PUR adhesives. They can be applied using standard hot melt glue guns and cure rapidly upon cooling. However, the shorter open time may limit the window for adjustments during application. ConclusionWhile both PUR edge sealing and general hot melt adhesive edge sealing have their merits, PUR adhesive emerges as the superior choice for demanding woodworking applications that require maximum strength, durability, and flexibility. Its ability to withstand harsh conditions and maintain bond integrity over time makes it the go-to option for professionals seeking top-quality results. However, for projects with less demanding requirements or where rapid production is a priority, general hot melt adhesives may suffice.In essence, the choice between PUR and general hot melt adhesive edge sealing depends on the specific needs of your woodworking projects.

High Temperature Resistant Glue GuideWhat is High Temperature Glue?High-temperature glue, often referred to as heat-resistant adhesive or high-temperature adhesive, is a type of adhesive that is designed to withstand elevated temperatures without losing its bonding properties or breaking down. These glues are formulated to maintain their strength, flexibility, and adhesion capabilities even when exposed to high temperatures, typically in the range of 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius) or more.When choosing a high-temperature glue, it's important to consider the specific temperature range it can tolerate, as well as the bonding material and the intended application. Different formulations may be better suited to different situations, so selecting the right adhesive for your needs is crucial to ensure a durable and reliable bond under high-temperature conditions. How does High Temperature Resistant Glue Work?High temperature resistant glue works by using specialized formulations and chemical properties to maintain its strength, flexibility, and adhesion capabilities at elevated temperatures. The exact mechanisms can vary depending on the type of adhesive, but here are some common ways in which high-temperature resistant glue works:Thermosetting Polymers:Many high-temperature resistant adhesives are based on thermosetting polymers. These polymers undergo a chemical change when exposed to heat, which causes them to cross-link and harden. Once the adhesive has cured and undergone this chemical transformation, it becomes more stable and heat-resistant. The curing process typically involves the application of heat, which can be done during the manufacturing process or when the adhesive is used.Silicone-Based Formulations:Silicone adhesives are known for their exceptional heat resistance. They work by maintaining their flexibility and stability even at high temperatures. Silicone molecules have a unique structure that allows them to withstand thermal stress without breaking down. They can also maintain their elasticity over a wide temperature range.Epoxy Resins:Epoxy adhesives often use a two-part system where a resin and hardener are mixed together before application. The chemical reaction between these two components, known as curing or polymerization, is initiated by heat or a catalyst. This reaction forms a strong and heat-resistant bond. Epoxy resins can be formulated to withstand high temperatures by using heat-resistant additives and carefully controlling the curing process.Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue):Heat-resistant cyanoacrylate adhesives are designed to maintain their bond strength even at elevated temperatures. They work through a process called anionic polymerization. When the adhesive comes into contact with moisture on the surfaces to be bonded, it rapidly polymerizes and forms a strong bond. Some specialized cyanoacrylates can withstand temperatures up to 250°C (482°F).Polyurethane Adhesives:Polyurethane adhesives are known for their flexibility and resistance to heat, chemicals, and moisture. They typically cure by a moisture-triggered process, and the resulting bonds can remain stable even at high temperatures. Applications of High Temperature Resistant GlueHigh-temperature glue is used in various applications where regular adhesives would fail due to heat exposure. Some common applications for high-temperature glue include:Automotive Repairs:High-temperature glue can be used for bonding components in engines, exhaust systems, and other areas that experience high heat.Electronics:It is employed in the manufacturing and repair of electronic devices where components generate heat, such as circuit boards, power supplies, and LED lighting.Industrial Equipment:High-temperature adhesives are used in the assembly and repair of machinery and equipment that operate at high temperatures, including ovens, furnaces, and boilers.Aerospace:They are used in the aerospace industry for bonding and sealing components on aircraft and spacecraft that must endure extreme temperatures during flight.Household Repairs:High-temperature glues can be used for various household repairs, including fixing appliances, cookware, and barbecue grills. Types of High Temperature Resistant GlueCommon types of high-temperature adhesives include:Silicone Adhesives:These are known for their excellent heat resistance and flexibility. They can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to 200°C (-40°F to 392°F) or even higher in some specialized formulations.Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue):Some cyanoacrylate adhesives are formulated to be heat-resistant and can tolerate temperatures up to 250°C (482°F).Epoxy Resins:Certain epoxy adhesives are designed to withstand high temperatures and can be used in applications where temperatures can reach 300°C (572°F) or more.Polyurethane Adhesives:These adhesives can offer good heat resistance and are often used in automotive and industrial applications. What should be Considered When Buying High Temp Glue Besides Heat ResistanceThere are several important factors to consider beyond heat resistance to ensure that you select the right adhesive for your specific application. Here are some key considerations:Temperature Range:While heat resistance is a crucial factor, it's essential to know the specific temperature range the adhesive can withstand. Different high-temperature glues have varying upper limits, so make sure the adhesive's range aligns with your application's temperature requirements.Substrate Compatibility:Consider the materials you intend to bond. Ensure that the adhesive is compatible with the substrates, such as metals, plastics, ceramics, or other materials. Some high-temperature glues may be better suited for certain materials.Curing Time:The drying or curing time can vary between different high-temperature adhesives. Some may require longer curing times than others, so factor this into your project timeline.Viscosity:Viscosity refers to the thickness or flowability of the adhesive. High-temperature glues come in various viscosities, from thin liquids to thick gels. Choose a viscosity that suits your application, taking into account factors like gap size and how the adhesive will be applied.Bond Strength:Consider the required strength of the bond for your application. High-temperature glues may have different bonding strengths, so choose one that meets your specific needs.Certifications and Approvals:Depending on your industry or application, you may require adhesives with specific certifications or approvals. For example, some adhesives may need to meet certain safety standards or regulations. Check if the adhesive has relevant certifications if needed. Tex Year High Temperature Glue RecommendationsPolyamide Based Hot-Melt Adhesive series:UL hot melt adhesives TY-863H1: UL94V0 and ROHS certified, heat resistant, oil resistant, chemical resistant, work perfectly for different types electronic parts bonding.CONTACT US if you need further assistance.

On this platform, everyone has a common goal, which is to develop sustainably.The vision direction of Tex Year are green, safe and healthy. At the same time, our company has been focusing on the development of green products for more than 40 years. Until today, and with the trend of the world industry, it has proposed various material solutions for carbon reduction, including biomass, renewable low-carbon materials. Using the methodology of circular economy to improve life cycle benefits and assist customer products to provide low-carbon solutions in the design of product recycling, reuse, and material reduction.In 2021, a green material strategic cooperation platform will be integrated. There are four main development scopes, including the bio-economy platform, the circular economy platform, the low-carbon economy platform, and the green economy platform inherited by Tex Year.[Green Economy Platform]The green economy platform is launched by green, safe and healthy. As long as the product development under this theme can be listed as the development direction of the green economy platform, such as: solvent-free water-based adhesive and hot melt adhesive, reduce health hazards and environmental protection impact; another example is the halogen-free flame-resistant hot melt adhesive, which not only increases the safety of the customer's products, but also reduces the final disposal of the product. A healthier manufacturing environment for the operator.[Low-Carbon Economy Platform]The low-carbon economy platform is the most important sustainable demand recently. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is directly linked to the global temperature and has a huge impact on climate change. Therefore, carbon reduction is the general trend, and the goals of various countries are also announced in these two years. They have successively proposed, and in turn, major global brands have also formulated their carbon reduction strategies and acted as pioneers in carbon reduction. Tex Year is no exception, the projects on the low-carbon economy platform list solutions that directly provide low-carbon: including lower energy It can also replace the adhesive tape, reduce the use of resources, and assist customers to achieve low-carbon industry 4.0 lights-out factories; low-temperature operation of hot-melt adhesives can reduce energy consumption when customers use it; there are also low-carbon bio-based hot melt adhesives, providing customers with products with a lower carbon footprint.[Circular Economy Platform]Circular economy platform, the simplest appeal is to assist customers in the design of products that can be reused in the life cycle of their products, or the materials of their products can be recycled and reused, or the design of reducing the use of product materials. In order to realize the value experience of customers, the research and development of materials in Tex Year has three important directions. First, it is easy to disassemble: mainly to assist customers after pasting and assembling, if they need to be recycled or reused, they can use different processes, allow customers to easily disassemble product components.

Plastic floors are more popular in the international market. It is now a new lightweight floor material in renovations and has a wider range of applications.For example, plastic floor tiles are commonly seen in many public buildings. The widely used plastic floors are made from polyurethane and most suitable for laying on outdoor sports grounds.PVC is a kind of plastic. PVC floor is one of the types of plastic floors, but may people call it a plastic floor. PVC floors with adhesive on the back side are very convenient for end users. They only need to tear off the release paper to adhere and assemble the floor. This is very suitable to the fast-paced life nowadays and consumers can do this immediately when they want to.Comparison: Ordinary vs. Adhesive PVC floor tiles  The glues commonly used for PVC floors on the market are classified into three types that are applied in different processes.1. Super glue: This a solvent-based glue containing toluene. It must be applied in ventilation environment and a glue drying process is needed to produce stickiness after volatilization.2. Water-based pressure sensitive adhesive: This is an environment-friendly water-based glue and does not contain toluene. The stickiness is produced when applying pressure and rework is carried out easily. However, immersing in water for a long period of time may damage the stickiness.3. Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesive: This is an environment-friendly hot melt glue and does not contain toluene. It is waterproof and the stickiness is produced when applying pressure. This is also suitable for DIY construction.Selecting hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive and its effect on PVC floor adhesivesThe PVC floor is comprised of PVC plastics, calcium carbonate, plasticizer and other additives. Environment-friendly plasticizer is added to improve the flexibility of PVC floor tiles and make them softer. However, plasticizer has a physical phenomenon of leakage and moves gradually from the inside to the surface as time goes on. As a result, the glue of the hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive will be solved and its cohesive will be damaged more seriously with time of storage, leading to spilling of the adhesive under heavy pressure and movement of some adhesive when the release paper is torn off.Once the stickiness of the hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive becomes worse, the angle may lift when it is stuck on. Hence, selecting the correct adhesive is one of the key elements for PVC floors.To solve the above-mentioned problem, our R&D personnel develop a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive with outstanding cohesion and substantially improved property to overcome the loss of stickiness due to leakage of plasticizer and ensure the adhesive of the self-sticking PVC floor remains cohesive and sticky after storage for a long period of time. This is a product that customers can use safely and comfortably.We have had our technical strength and strong R&D team for more than 40 years, and provide targeted development services to meet the requirements of the customer. We specialize in the areas of hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive for PVC floor tiles, UV matte coating materials, and other adhesive application requirements.With our strength of solution, we help Top 100 companies implement their production processes and meet their production requirements for PVC floor tile adhesive and surface scratch and wear resistant UV matte coating materials.

What are VOCs?VOCs is the acronym for Volatile Organic Compounds. The definition of VOCs is different among countries. They usually refer to the organic compounds that volatilize easily at room temperature. Burning of fuels and gases produced by transportations are the main source of outdoor VOCs. If it's indoors, they're usually produced from building or decoration materials, furniture, household appliances, cleaners, and so on. (Source: Wikipedia)As the air pollution becomes an increasingly serious problem in recent years, many countries established regulations to govern the air quality and speed up the reduction of the use of VOCs in major industries by promoting greening of industries and improving the quality of the atmospheric environment to protect the health of human beings.VOCs and air pollutionThe environmental trend of low VOCsThe Environmental Protection Administration governs the products containing VOCs, including adhesives and sealants, and sets a limit value of their concentration to reduce the emission of VOCs.Our core value is to provide environment-friendly, innovative, and safe products and protect the interests of our customers to meet the requirements of the laws and regulations. We pay close attention to the development trend of the market and respond to the demands of the customers and end consumers in a timely manner. Low-VOC HMA series products We introduced the Low-VOC HMA series product into the market and control the concentration at every phase from raw material to production to make products with low volatility and VOC residues. In comparison with other products on the market, the frame and seam sealants provided recently for use in air strainers contain less VOCs while keeping the quality unaffected to provide consumers with organic compound products with low odor and volatility.In addition, the low-VOC hot melt adhesives have a wide range of applications in the areas closely related to our daily life, such as sanitary devices, packaging materials, filter materials, tapes, mattresses, filter medias, automobiles, and building materials. Tex Year low-VOC HMA series productsTex Year VOC test devices controlling the quality for our livesTo provide customers with safe products, we adopt VOC test devices to ensure the products provided for the customers can meet their standards.

Mattress Comfort Determination Indicators: SupportA mattress with good support can produce different support strengths according to the human body curvatures, which is the most important indicator.Fit A good mattress brings a sense of comfortable wrapping-fit.BreathabilityA mattress with poor breathability would become hotter as the user sleeps. The skin cannot breath and can easily develop into various skin diseases.Interference PreventionIf the whole bed vibrates when you turn over, the bed has poor interference prevention and can affect the sleep of your other half. If the other side of the bed does not vibrate when you turn over, it has strong interference prevention.For a mattress to satisfy these four major indicators, multiple layers of materials need to be overlapped and combined. Tex Year's hot-melt adhesive products produce no toxic gases such as benzene or formaldehyde; and are crucial to securely bond the surface fabric, various lining materials, springs, etc. These products can resolve the environmental protection issues in the mattress production process.Tex Year's Hot Melt 合得妙® adhesive used for mattress bonding would not harden the foams, and the bonding effect is uniform and long-lasting over time. It also offers good heat and cold resistance, and smooth operation process without any adhesive drawing. The product can maintain cleanliness for the processing parts and the working environment. The long-lasting bonding as well as the non-toxic, tasteless, and harmless attributes offer a guarantee for consumer health.
