Development of Bio-Based Adhesives fuel the South & Central America Adhesives and Sealants Market

Bio-based materials are gaining traction in all fields due to their improved environmental footprint and independence from petroleum resources that come with their use. Bio-based adhesives are natural polymeric materials consisting of high molecular weight and utilize biocompatible and biodegradable polymers to join two surfaces. These polymers are composed of molecular building blocks linked together to form various large and complex structures. In recent years, there have been developments in bio-based adhesives. For instance, soy-based adhesives are developed to replace urea formaldehyde (UF) resins to avoid concerns related to formaldehyde toxicity. The adhesives formulated from soy protein exhibit desirable dry bonding strength and reduce the dependency on petroleum resins. The biobased raw materials utilized in the adhesive are produced from regenerative sources. This leads to the reduction of CO2 emissions compared to fossil raw materials in the supply chain. Further, biobased adhesives are suitable for packaging end use industry’s due to the clean and efficient bonding of outer coating of paper. Also, they can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative in the production of disposable drinking straws, crockery, and cutlery. Hence, owing to the rising concern and awareness about the social and environmental impacts of conventional materials, manufacturers of adhesives are shifting toward environment-friendly bio-based materials, which is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the adhesives and sealants market growth during the forecast period .
