Our blog keeps you in touch with the latest innovations and trends.
We are living in a world where people are more aware of our planet and our future. We are proud to say, Protechnic, we are part of it. Our R&D department keeps searching for more sustainable and Eco-friendly adhesive materials. We have already succeeded to use some bio-based material. Today, we are even more driven to work in this direction.
An open web adhesive is distinguished by its unique breathable structure. Unlike adhesive films, open web adhesives are designed to maximize air permeability.
This new adhesive solution is done by a precise arrangement of adhesive fibers, creating a porous adhesive surface that facilitates the passage of air and moisture.
Our aim is to significantly improve breathability compared to standard web adhesives.

Environmental consciousness is increasing in many industries and regulations are more and more stringent when it comes to emissions. Industries like automotive & transport, aircraft & aerospace, upholstery, and interior furniture are looking for sustainable solutions.
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) approved thermoplastic adhesives are part of these sustainable options, offering performance and environmental responsibility.
VOCs are organic chemicals that evaporate at room temperature and can have effects on air quality and human health.
Solvent-based adhesives are a way less promoted solution for bonding in these sectors, because of their high VOC content that poses significant concerns.
Recognizing these challenges, Bemis | Protechnic decided to engineer thermoplastic adhesives with very low VOC emissions.
At Bemis | Protechnic we commit to this principles with a careful selection of raw materials with very low VOC emissions. Furthermore, our dedication to your sustainability led us to create thermoplastic adhesive products with bio-based content up to 91%.
The adoption of VOC-approved thermoplastic adhesives offers various benefits for industries:
Thermoplastic adhesives are ideal for bonding interior trim, seating, headliners, and carpets, contributing to improved cabin air quality.
Example: Bonding door panels with a VOC-approved thermoplastic film ensures a secure trim without releasing harmful fumes into the vehicle cabin.
Reduced VOC emissions contribute to a healthier cabin environment for passengers and crew. The application offered by adhesive film and web also minimizes adhesive waste.
Example: Utilizing a VOC-compliant thermoplastic web adhesive for bonding seat fabrics ensures durability and comfort while meeting stringent aerospace VOC regulations.
VOC-approved thermoplastic adhesives provide a clean and efficient bonding method alternative, contributing to healthier environments. Our thermoplastic adhesives offer strong adhesion to various materials like foam, fabric or leather.
Example: VOC-approved thermoplastic adhesive to bond foam layers in a sofa cushion ensures comfort and durability without compromising safety.

In the world of office furniture and interior design, materials are very diverse. Designers look for adhesive solutions that not only provide strong bonding but also meet requirements for comfort, flexibility, sustainability, and durability.
Our range of thermoplastic hot melt adhesives is engineered to meet these demands, offering reliable performance across a wide range of applications.
In the market of medical industry, the demand for safe, reliable, and comfortable bonding solutions is increasing.
Thermoplastic adhesives are a smart choice offering a high performance alternative to traditional bonding methods. In this article we will go in depth of the benefits and properties of thermoplastic adhesives for medical applications.
As aircraft passenger and crew safety is mandatory and increasingly important in aviation, initiatives are underway in this area, particularly concerning the construction of aircraft interior parts.
The aerospace industry is evolving, demanding better bonding solutions for new materials. The flammability of materials used in the construction of aircraft is a key factor. That’s where Bemis | Protechnic thermoplastic adhesives can make a significant difference. Our CoPA and CoPES thermoplastic webs have successfully passed FAR 25.853, they’re both in accordance with the norm FAR 25.853 appF part I (a)(1) (ii).

As car owners are looking for personalized vehicles, aesthetic has become a top priority. One area that significantly impacts a car’s interior ambiance is the headliner. To meet this growing demand for visually appealing and functional headliners, thermoplastic adhesive is a game-changer.
Bemis-Protechnic offers a large range of thermoplastic adhesives designed to deliver exceptional performance and aesthetics in automotive headliner applications. Our adhesives are engineered to streamline production processes, reduce defects, and ensure a clean, high-quality finish.
Thermoplastic adhesives offer an alternative to traditional bonding methods. However, achieving optimal results requires consideration of a range of factors that can influence bond strength.
Here, we will talk about the most common challenges met in thermoplastic bonding and explore strategies to ensure a successful assembly process.
Just like any bonding technique, surface preparation is critical for achieving a strong and reliable bond with thermoplastics. Overlooking this step can lead to weak or uneven adhesion. Common mistakes include:
In today’s industry, sustainability has become a necessity. One aspect of sustainability is promoting a circular economy, where materials can be reused and recycled at the end of their life. But what about the adhesives that bond these materials together?
Thermoset adhesives can often represent a challenge for recycling as the material is fixed after the activation. Here at Bemis-Protechnic we offer thermoplastic adhesive solutions that are tailored to match the composition of your substrates. That approach allows easier streamlined recycling at the end of your product’s life cycle.
