Adhesives Technology Compendium
– Edition 2021

In a joint project the German Adhesives Association and the editors of the magazine ADHESION – Adhesives & Sealants started already back in 2009, to publish the Adhesives Technology Compendium every second year. Since 2015, the team of authors has been extended to IVK´s fellow associations from Austria, The Netherlands and Switzerland. Thus, the newly published reference book 2021 contains the company profiles of more than 160 adhesive and sealant manufacturers, raw-material suppliers, dosing and mixing equipment suppliers, research institutes, as well as consultancy companies and toll manufacturers from these four European countries.
Furthermore the compendium gives a survey on the broad activities and committee work of IVK and its sister associations, as well as on European legislation and regulations, statistic and standards, important to the European Adhesives and Sealant Industry.
