9:15 to 10:00 a.m.Emerging Raw Material Supply from ChinaNellie Perry, Vice President, C5 Monomers and Polymers, argus deWittFor years, North America has had an abundance of raw materials. With advent of shale gas there has been a significant reduction in feed supply to make the polymers of interest in the adhesive industry. The significance of the reduction has been masked by various economic downturns, but in general has raised the costs of raw materials. If and when, normal demand growth returns we would expect there to be supply problems. This presentation puts in perspective the feed situation in North America versus Asia and opportunities for new hydrocarbon resin supply from Asia.

9:15 to 10:00 a.m.Dibenzoate Plasticizers’ Use in Sealants: Polysulphide 2K Insulating Glass and Silyl Terminated Polyether Sealants Bill arendt, research Fellow, Emerald kalama Chemical LLCDibenzoate plasticizers have a long history of use in the adhesives in-dustry. Diethylene glycol dibenzoate with dipropylene glycol dibenzoate traditional and modern blends are plasticizers of choice in waterborne adhesives. However, dibenzoates have also been and are currently used in the latex caulk industry, most recently as new dibenzoate blends tailored to that application. In addition to those applications, dibenzo-ate plasticizers are finding increased use in polysulphide 2K insulating glass sealants, primarily in the “A” side or polymer side of the sealant. A study on formulation with new DEG/DPG dibenzoate blends has been conducted to illustrate how to use these new blends in that application. The results of that work will be presented. Silyl terminated polyether sealants as a class of sealant continues to grow. Classically, phthalates such as diisononyl and other long chain phthalates have been used in silyl terminated polyether sealants. In addition, the selection and use of dibenzoates will be explored as replacements for phthalates. These data will also be presented.

9:15 to 10:00 a.m.Will Adhesive Bonding Ever Replace Mechanical Fastening?dave Nick, President/CEO, dPNa International, Inc.This presentation will describe the current status of adhesives as an alterna-tive to mechanical fastening. The opportunities for chemical (adhesive) bonding have been reported as “boundless” starting in the 1990’s. Chemi-cal bonding methods were touted as the wave of the future, replacing labor intensive and costly welds, screws, nuts and bolts, stitching and tabs for fabricating many components. Today, adhesives have gained market share and are well positioned in many industry segments. Most notable are transportation (aircraft and autos), construction, (flooring, wall panels), woodworking and other assembly sub-segments. Nearly 13% of the $324 billion global fastening market is shared by adhesives and it is increasing. Segment market share gains for adhesive bonding will be identified along with comments on key market drivers, strengths and weaknesses. Con-cluding comments will be offered on the future outlook for both adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening.

10:00 to 10:30 a.m.BreAK

10:30 to 11:15 a.m.Trends and Future Prospects in Materials Joining TechnologiesGeorge ritter, Principal Engineer, Materials, Edison Welding Institute (EWI)Mechanical fasteners and welds have the reputation of reliability and repeatability. Adhesives are seen as slow to process and having unpredict-able performance. With the advent of new dissimilar materials combina-tions, what are the prospects for structural bonding and how will adhesives be used? EWI develops multi-disciplinary approaches to materials joining solutions for manufacturing industry. Dr. Ritter leads the adhesives bond-ing area and will discuss the technical merits of adhesives, welding, and opportunities for combining adhesives with other joining techniques. He will offer perspective on manufacturing cultures and barriers to success and suggest those areas where adhesive bonding might be expected to compete with or augment traditional manufacturing approaches.

11:15 a.m. to NoonLean Manufacturing with Structural AdhesivesJeff Moser, Business development Manager - Bonding Solutions, a.raYMONd tINNErMaN INduStrIaL, Inc.A major obstacle to structural adhesive penetration in high volume production environments (i.e. automotive etc.) cure time. 2K adhesives offer accelerated curing at the expense of complex mixing and dispensing systems while 1K adhesives require extended cure times during which the substrates must be stored while clamped or fixed together. Hot melts and PSA tapes are often used at additional cost to hold bonded parts together while wet structural adhesives cure. To match TAKT times and line speeds with traditional fastening methods a rapid green strength cure is required. Structural adhesives with rapid curing strength for in-line secondary assembly operations and non-destructive end of line testing have been successfully commercialized in high volume production. This presentation will review key economic drivers for this process including capital, WIP, scrap, and productivity.Sponsored by:

10:30 to 11:00 a.m.Using Superior Dispersion and Surface Chemistry of Fumed Silica to Improve Adhesive PerformanceMichael Famiglietti, technical Service Manager, Cabot CorporationIn adhesive systems fumed silica particles are commonly used to enhance rheological as well as mechanical properties. These performance benefits are achieved by virtue of the silica networks that form in specific poly-mer matrices. A discussion of dispersion state and surface chemistry will highlight examples of how improved performance in adhesive systems is achieved. The superior state of colloidal scale silica dispersions provides improved mechanical properties of pressure sensitive adhesives. Addition-ally, paring the particle’s surface chemistry to specific polymers in adhesive systems will lead to improved rheological performance, including increased yield stress and stability. The ability to control these properties can be leveraged to enhance performance in wide array of adhesive systems.

11:00 to 11:30 a.m.Multi-arm Copolymers for PSA Optimizationalejandro Esquivel, technical Service Engineer, dynasol, LLCOne of the main concerns for pressure sensitive adhesive formulator is reduce formula and operative costs maintaining or improving adhesive performance. Dynasol has developed a new polymer family based on a novel multi-arm structure specifically designed for adhesives application. Attendees will comprehend how to obtain superior benefits: improve adhesive performance; substitute SIS formulations using multi-arm based formulas; reduce costs using less polymer and /or tackifier maintaining performance; improve process productivity maintaining adhesive performance and energy saving.

11:30 a.m. to NoonGetting More for Less - New Bio-Based Rheological Additives for Low Temperature Process Mark Piggott, Senior account Manager, arkema Coating resinsRecently, a new generation of thixotropic amides (Crayvallac SLT) has come onto to the sealant market. It reduces cost and cycle times and also improves reliability and rheological performance. More than 90 % of its ingredients are bio-sourced and bio-renewable. It is also 100 % solid and therefore VOC free. Furthermore, this development will enable formulators to produce sealants at lower temperatures (cold process), thus reducing energy consumption and cycle time and leading to lower manufacturing costs.

1:15 to 2:00 p.m.EPD 101: What, Why and HowWayne trusty, President, Wayne B. trusty & associates LimitedThis presentation focuses on the what, why and how of an Environmen-tal Product Declaration (EPD). Since EPDs are based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the presentation will first focus on an overview of the essence of LCA – terms, standards, basic steps, and the environmental performance measures that result. We will then shift to the basic steps in developing an EPD, which start with the development of Product Category Rules (PCR) under the direction of a Program Operator, and end with verification and publication of the EPD. Finally, we’ll focus on the types of EPDs that can result and the bottom line for industry – the critical ‘why’ question.

2:00 to 2:45 p.m.Key Learning’s from the Door and Hardware Industry on Product Transparencyaaron Smith, director of Sustainability, aSSa aBLOY door Security Solutions®This presentation will discuss the experience of product transparency from the point of view of the largest global manufacturer of doors, hard-ware and access control products. PCRs, LCAs, EPDs and HPDs.


3:00 to 4:00p.m.Importance of Service Life Prediction Metric in PCR Development for SealantsChristopher White, acting Group Leader, Polymeric Materials Group, National Institute of Standards and technologyDeveloping a Product Category Rule (PCR) for one or more products involves providing a life cycle assessment. The life cycle assessment provides a detailed analysis of the environmental impact of the product across its life span from cradle to grave. Most of the inputs can reliably be determined. A critical component that can have a dramatic impact on the LCA and thus the PCR is the prediction of the service life. This presentation will detail specific examples where subtle changes in the expected lifetime of a product can have unexpected impacts on the environmental life cycle assessment. Following these examples, current methods of assessing the service life of polymeric building materials will be reviewed.


1:45 to 2:30 p.m.LEED V.4- Update on the Impact on Sealants and AdhesivesMichael Schmeida, divisional Manager-Sustainability & Government/regulatory affairs, tremco IncorporatedAs discussed in the presentation entitled “LEED 4.0: Potential Impacts on Construction Chemical Manufacturers” presented at the ASC 2012 Fall Convention, LEED™ V.4 is going to the next level in sustainability concepts and construction materials. Life-cycle terminology and prac-tices, product and chemical assessments and supply chain management will become greater topics of interest. We will re-examine these and other areas of great concern to the adhesives and sealants industry in the latest draft version of LEED V.4 and discuss what the latest proposals may mean for organizations as this now mainstream design system makes significant changes. We will also solicit stakeholder feedback so that ASC may better prepare how it handles this issue on member organizations’ behalf.


2:45 to 3:30 p.m.GreenSuite® Alternative Assessments of Chemicals, Products, and ProcessesGeorge Thompson, President & CEO, Chemical Compliance Systems, Inc.Alternative assessments can be based upon the hazard, risk, lifecycle, or sustainability impact of a chemical substance by itself, within its manu-facturing process, or from the product containing the chemical. The com-plexities involved with these alternative assessments cannot be credibly fulfilled by a single system, such as GreenScreen®. In addition, since alter-native assessments are intended to “eliminate or reduce potential expo-sures” to chemicals of concern, banning chemicals is not the only available option, especially when exposures can be reduced or eliminated by other means. GreenSuite® is a set of existing software modules populated with chemical and regulatory data that identify the hazards of chemicals and their risks within a manufacturing process, or a finished product, so ex-posures can be maintained at safe levels within each stage of the lifecycle, as well as across the entire lifecycle, thus avoiding the need to ban the chemical. GreenSuite® utilizes 44 ecological, health, and safety endpoint criteria from the national “Greener Chemicals and Processes Information Standard” (ANSI 355) to quantitate the hazards and risks on a scale of 0-100%. Comparative analyses for alternative chemicals, manufacturing processes, or product formulations can be completed within 3-5 seconds.

3:30 to 4:00 p.m.New Technologies for Rapid Assessment of Adhesive and Sealant Chemical Impacts Stephany Mason, Vice President, VOC Materials testing, Eurofins air toxics, Inc.This presentation will introduce new technologies to help manufacturers measure the VOC emissions IAQ impact of their products. In addition, the presentation will facilitate a dialogue into how these technologies can be useful throughout a product’s lifecycle: product concept, research and development, market introduction, and production verification.

These processes often require high energy input and highly reactive and hazardous materials. In natural systems, one typically encounters synthetic control schemes that are based on entropic forces rather than these human- designed enthalpic manipulations. In natural processes, phase changes and triggered mixing are often employed to direct systems towards or away from equilibrium conditions. The recognition of these “natural tendencies” allows one to design processes that have reduced toxicological and environmental impact. This presentation will describe results in non-covalent derivatization and bioinspired photopolymers that illustrate this shift towards entropic control as an example of green chemistry.

10:00 to 10:30 a.m.VOC Free, High Performance PU Adhesives for CO2 Based Polycarbonate PolyolsJason anderson, director, CO2 Strategy & Business development, Novomer, Inc.Novomer and The Hanson Group are developing a novel two-component urethane adhesive based on Novomer’s CO2-based polycarbonate polyol technology. This zero VOC, high strength system is targeted at flexible textile and footwear applications. Novomer and Hanson will continue to refine the technology in collaboration with major adhesive end users.

10:30 to 11:15 a.m.Benefits of Aliphatic Diisocyanates (ADI) and their Derivatives in Thermoplastic Materials Corey king, Manager, technical Service and Business development, Crosslinkers, Evonik CorporationIn the presentation we will discuss how the structure and selectivity of an aliphatic diisocyanate determines physical properties of the finished prod-uct including crystallinity, compatibility, glass transition temperature and viscosity. It will also help selecting which aliphatic diisocyanate will best suit a specific application. Based on this knowledge, it can be concluded that H12MDI is the most suitable aliphatic diisocyanate monomer for thermoplastic polyurethanes. It should be noted however that changing from MDI to H12MDI will require raw material reformulation in order to reach the same mechanical properties of the original aromatic TPU. As an example for an application of aliphatic diisocyanates derivative, we will discuss the stabilization of polyesters by aliphatic polycarbodiimides.

11:15 a.m. to NoonNovel Moisture Curable Silane Modified Polymers kamesh Vyakaranam, associate Scientist, dow Chemical CompanyDow VORASIL™ Silane Modified Polymers (SMP) is a family of moisture-curable isocyanate-free polymers.

10:45 to 11:30 a.m.Viscoelastic Silicone Rubber as a Closure Adhesive and Adaptive SealantLouis Bloomfield, Professor and associate Chair of Physics, university of VirginiaViscoelastic silicone rubber is a new thermoset polymer that is firm and springy on short timescales yet soft and compliant on long timescales. Its time-dependent behavior makes it uniquely suited to use in adaptive pad-ding and sealing. Its dynamic molecular structure also gives it the ability to adhere strongly but temporarily to itself, while showing little or no adhesion to anything else. That strong, temporary adhesion allows visco-elastic silicone rubber to act as an adhesive for packages that requires both secure closure and repeated opening and closing cycles without damage.

11:30 a.m. to NoonTransfer Printing Nanowire Electronic Devices on Non-Si SubstratesXiaolin Zheng, assistant Professor, Stanford universityThis presentation will discuss various transfer printing methods that can fabri-cate electronic devices onto diverse nonconventional substrates, such as paper, plastics, tapes, glasses, polydimethylsiloxane, Al foils, and polymer substrates. These flexible, transparent, ultrathin, or biocompatible devices will impact many technologies, such as flexible displays, solar cells, and biosensors. This presentation will highlight a simple, versatile, and wafer-scale water-assisted transfer printing method (WTP) that enables integration of electronic devices onto diverse non-Si substrates which were not easily accessible before. The WTP method relies on the water assisted subcritical interface debonding mechanism. The transfer yield is nearly 100%, and the transferred devices maintain their original geometries and electronic properties with high fidelity.

9:15 to 10:00 a.m.Looking Beyond Fibrils: Evolution Guided Polymer Adhesionalfred Crosby, Professor, department of Polymer Science and Engineering, university of Massachusetts amherstNature provides awe-inspiring lessons in designing materials structures from simple building blocks to achieve necessary performance. A ubiquitous theme is the establishment of structures that have unique mechanical responses at different length scales, ranging from nanometers to centimeters. We describe how the same balance of materials properties and geometry that control draping in a thin film can be advantageous for the hierarchical design of reversible, gecko-inspired adhesives. We develop a simple scaling theory to link the adhesive performance of features on nanometer lengths to climbing systems of macroscopic dimension. We have used the guidance provided by this scaling theory to develop Geckskin™ adhesive systems, which are capable of supporting up to 700lbs on an index card sized sample and removed with near-zero forces upon command.

10:15 to 10:45 a.m.A Catechol-Based Intravascular Adhesive That Coats and Treats Atherosclerotic PlaquesChristian kastrup, assistant Professor, university of British ColumbiaDeveloping therapies that locally treat atherosclerotic plaques and other segments of diseased vessels is an important goal for preventing heart attack and stroke. Current clinical techniques for implanting drug-eluting devices, such as stenting, rely on mechanical forces to implant materials in vessels, which can permanently damage the vessel. We have developed an intravascular bioadhesive gel that can be locally and durably glued onto the inside surface of blood vessels. In arteries of mice, the gel, delivered via catheter, adhered for over a month and controllably released small molecules into the local vasculature. In a model of atherosclerosis, inflamed plaques treated with steroid-eluting adhesive gels had reduced inflammation and had protective fibrous caps covering the plaque core.

4:15 to 4:45 p.m.Selectivity of Adhesion and Control of Friction by Near-Surface PatterningYing (richard) Bai, Phd Candidate, Lehigh universityWe have studied how near-surface patterning of shape and elasticity can be used to endow generic materials with properties such as adhesion selectivity and controlled friction. First, we show that by using peri-odic and complementary surface profiles, highly enhanced and selective adhesion can be obtained between two surfaces. Second, we show how a surface patterned with periodic variation in stiffness undergoes an “auto-roughening” transition during friction and that this process can strongly attenuate overall sliding friction.

How Long Should It Last? Sealant Durability as a Factor in Construction Litigationdavid Nicastro, Chief Executive Officer, Building diagnosticsSealant is used on every building, and used wrong on most of them. From product selection to installation to maintenance, ignorance about exterior wall and window sealant joints leads to countless premature failures; therefore, durability is a central factor in construction litigation. In many cases, there are unrealistic expectations of how long a sealant should serve its intended pur-pose - its design life. On the other side, mistakes shorten the sealant’s functional performance - its service life. To bridge this knowledge gap, this presentation will synthesize a practical understanding of sealant durability based on theoretical behavior, observations from numerous failure case studies, and research and test results from The Durability Lab. Improving durability is also closely related to sustain-ability; preventing premature failure keeps building materials out of the landfill longer.
