Product Design & Development
Adhesives play an important role in today’s product design, manufacturing and repair processes. Creative Adhesives brings extensive experience in the formulation, development and manufacturing of adhesives, sealants and other construction chemicals. Our knowledge in the field allows us to provide our clients with valuable technical insight during the design phase and a smooth transition from concept to full-scale manufacturing.
Adhesive Specification Development
Adhesives are a key component in most manufactured products, requiring the right balance between performance and cost. With the many vendors offering many choices and presenting their data in different formats, the process can be difficult. Creative Adhesives simplifies this process by reviewing your application requirements, defining clear and relevant specifications, and supporting the evaluation and selection of the most suitable adhesive solution for your needs.
Market Assessment
Successfully positioning and pricing products in the adhesives marketplace requires a deep understanding of both the market landscape and the technology behind the product. Few organizations are able to integrate these two perspectives. With our marketing, sales, and technical expertise, Creative Adhesives evaluates your product’s technical capabilities and translates them into clear insights on market fit, positioning, and competitive opportunity.
Technology Assessment & Technology Transfer
Determining the value, robustness, and applicability of intellectual property is an important aspect of mergers, acquisitions, licensing agreements, and investment decisions. Drawing on our academic foundation, industry experience, and access to external laboratory facilities, Creative Adhesives is uniquely equipped to conduct thorough technology assessments and provide objective, actionable recommendations. We also support seamless technology transfer to ensure successful implementation across teams, sites, or regions.
Product Failure Analysis
While product failures are never a pleasant experience, identifying the root cause is essential to preventing recurrence. Identifying the primary cause of an adhesive, coating or sealant failure can be complex due to multiple interacting variables. Creative Adhesives applies proven Root Cause Analysis methodologies, supported by analytical and physical testing, to accurately identify failure mechanisms. Combined with our extensive experience in product development and technical service, we help clients not only determine the cause of failure but also implement effective corrective and preventive solutions.
