Bostik helps manufacturers with adhesive testing, process optimization, troubleshooting and technical support to improve efficiency and compliance.
At Bostik, technical expertise is a core part of how we help manufacturers like you succeed in navigating performance expectations, regulatory pressures and complex production demands.
This is because as the adhesive solutions segment of Arkema, we go beyond our portfolio of high-performance adhesive and sealant solutions, working at a global scale while offering comprehensive, local support. Our experts work alongside you to help ensure your needs are understood and met with minimal impact on your processes.
We prioritize thorough testing to validate solutions as well as conduct line assessments to help you move forward with confidence.
Thorough Testing Capabilities
Bostik’s testing capabilities can help you validate performance, optimize processes and evaluate opportunities to reduce materials usage, waste generation, energy consumption and rework before scale‑up occurs.
By simulating real manufacturing conditions, we help ensure adhesive and sealant solutions are optimized for your application, equipment and end-use requirements.
This can include:
For packaging markets, our teams can conduct comprehensive, FDA‑aligned food safety and chemical migration testing, analyzing materials at sub‑parts‑per‑billion levels. Using our pilot coater capabilities, we can replicate real‑world label and packaging constructions to evaluate how adhesives, substrates, barriers, inks and coatings may interact under your manufacturing temperatures and conditions. This controlled trial approach can deliver actionable results, helping you meet regulatory requirements, reduce migration risk and keep full‑scale production lines running.
For durable goods markets, our technical centers can support adhesion testing, environmental exposure, mechanical validation, prototyping and pilot-scale trials. Further, you can participate directly in testing or receive detailed data and documentation without pausing your own production; this helps you stay involved with informed, data-driven decisions across product development through production implementation.
Building on these validated insights, our teams can also evaluate how your processes perform in real-world production environments through on-site line assessments.
Line Assessments
From trials through full production, Bostik’s technical teams can provide recommendations to help keep your lines running efficiently.
Specifically, we offer on-site line assessments to identify equipment and adhesive optimization opportunities to aid in efforts to reduce downtime, energy usage and more.
These assessments allow us to proactively help you avoid problems. However, should issues arise, we also can provide troubleshooting support to solve current issues and work to minimize their future occurrence likelihood.
If you’re already working with Bostik and need support, our Technical Services support page is your direct path to request assistance from our experts. We’re here to help your operations today and as your needs evolve.
