Pitfalls & Challenges: |
|
Contact adhesives form an immediate bond upon contact, leaving little room for repositioning or adjustment. This can be challenging when precise alignment is required. Some contact adhesives contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can emit harmful solvents into the air during application and curing. Due to VOC emissions, proper ventilation is necessary when working with contact adhesives to ensure worker safety and prevent indoor air pollution. Thus, the risks associated with Contact adhesives may drive down the acceptance rate, further hampering the business growth.
