On the last day of the January conference 2016, product manager Holger Luetfring introduced the new adhesive standard DIN 2304. The aim of this standard is qualitative improvement of bonding processes by trained users in the companies and the reproducibility of process results.
The course of lessons on “The art of adhesive bonds” were then presented, which have been developed for students by the adhesives industry association. This course provides information on the various adhesives and the numerous application areas and conveys extensive basic knowledge on how to handle the products correctly.
Alongside the talks, our colleagues were trained in the practical handling of new products. The new sprays with NSF approval, the flexible adhesives and sealants in the new press packs and products such as the new threadlocking solutions were presented and, of course, tried out at three stations.
