Description

Developing high-performance bio-based adhesives requires more than replacing petroleum materials with renewable alternatives. This training focuses on advanced bio-based adhesive formulation strategies, including the selection and integration of high-performance renewable raw materials such as bio-polyols, lignin-derived resins, and sustainable tackifiers. The expert-led session explores hybrid formulation approaches that balance bio-content with synthetic polymers to achieve critical performance targets including shear strength, peel adhesion, thermal stability, and long-term durability. Special emphasis is placed on managing compatibility, phase behavior, and structure–property relationships to prevent performance loss at higher bio-content levels. Participants will learn how to apply dynamic mechanical analysis, fracture mechanics, and accelerated aging protocols to predict real-world performance under thermal, mechanical, and hygrothermal stress. The training also addresses the global regulatory landscape, including USDA BioPreferred, FDA food contact requirements, REACH, and ISO 10993, along with bio-content verification (ASTM D6866) and life cycle assessment for credible sustainability claims. This integrated approach enables the development of bio-based structural adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and sealants that deliver reliable performance while meeting sustainability and compliance requirements across automotive, packaging, and construction applications.

Why you should not miss the training?

Move beyond simple substitution and learn how to design bio-based adhesive systems that perform, scale, and gain regulatory acceptance;

1. Formulate high bio-content systems without sacrificing performance: Practical strategies for advanced bio-polyols, lignin resins, and next-generation renewable chemistries.

2. Solve compatibility and phase stability in hybrid formulations: Identify and prevent phase separation, property drift, and long-term instability risks.

3. Predict durability instead of discovering failures later: Design accelerated aging methods for hygrothermal, mechanical, and environmental stress conditions.

4. Build formulations that meet global regulatory expectations: Framework for FDA, REACH, and bio-content documentation to support market approval.

5. Translate sustainability into measurable business value: Use LCA, bio-content verification, and performance data to justify material and cost decisions.

Who should attend this training?

This is a very useful industry recommended training for the adhesives and sealants industry professionals in particular;

        - R&D chemists, formulators, scientist, new product developers
        - Professionals from adhesives and related raw-materials area
        - OEM and brand owners
