Materials drawn from crude oil and natural gas wells are processed to separate molecules of varying shapes and sizes using a method known as cracking. The separated materials are each designated for a specific use. Aside from fuels, the remaining material is used for the manufacture of refined chemicals, such as raw materials for adhesives.
Global demand has put a strain on supply, especially on crude oil and the materials that it produces. The high demand creates periods of constraint on the items that are derived from crude oil. As a result, a recent trend has emerged toward the expansion of processing natural gas to produce some of those items.
Formulated with olefin as the core, the Relyance adhesives platform capitalizes on these trends. Olefin raw materials can be derived from both natural gas and crude oil processing. So no matter what material is being cracked, there will be raw materials for olefins remaining, increasing the stability of supply.
Although olefin-based adhesives are not a new concept, they previously were considered to lack the balance of process and performance for hygiene adhesive applications. Through innovative formulating expertise, Bostik has created adhesives that provide excellent processability and outstanding performance. Relyance gives you more options to meet your needs and to help sustain your supply. It’s the latest installment in Bostik’s history of delivering the products you need to succeed.
