Industry Background:
Ceramic materials are inorganic compounds, typically rigid and very brittle, and also possess electrically non-conductive, and good heat resistance properties. Ceramic adhesives are used for bonding & sealing metals, ceramics, quartz, and glass for huge vacuum, high temperature, and cryogenic applications. Ceramic adhesives are often used for their high-temperature capabilities, for example, epoxy and phenolic adhesives can be used up to a temperature of about 150°C and other adhesives that work in temperatures of higher to 2200°C. These adhesives are based on inorganic binders such as alkali silicates and different metal phosphates, with a filler like carbon, alumina, magnesia, or zirconia.This growth is primarily driven by Growing Applications of Ceramic Products in Commercial and Industrial Sectors, Rising Demand for High-performance, Eco-friendly, and Cost-effective Products and Superior Bonding with Other Materials Such As Glass, Quartz, Graphite, Composites, Textiles, and Metals.
Major Vendors, such as TWI Ltd. (United Kingdom), Permabond LLC (United Kingdom), Agar Scientific Ltd. (United Kingdom), Glassbond (United Kingdom), Seal It Services T/A Bond It (United Kingdom), 3M (United States), BASF SE (Germany), Sain-Gobain Weber (France), Bostik (France) and Henkel (Germany) etc have either set up their manufacturing facilities or are planning to start new provision in the dominated region in the upcoming years.
Key Developments in the Market:
In October 2018, Bostik acquired Afinitica, a Spanish manufacturer of instant adhesives, to expand its product portfolio for niche applications in electronics, automotive, optical, and medical industries.
In November 2020, Saint Gobain launched an environment-friendly tile adhesive under the brand name Weberset TF eco and Weberset TF eco plus. The adhesive is designed to fix ceramic tiles and stone.
Regulatory Insights:
BS EN 12004-1:2017 European Standard specifies the performance requirements for the adhesives, concerning the products, working methods, application properties, etc, for ceramic tiles. It also specifies the appurtenant test methods, assessment, and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP), as well as the classification, designation, and marking of adhesives for ceramic tiles.
