Adhesives Report:
Rheology and Advanced Inkjet Development for High-Viscosity Materials

Adhesives are foundational to modern manufacturing, used in virtually every consumer, medical, and industrial product, including electronics, automotive components, and packaging.

While the majority of adhesives today are applied using traditional dispensing methods, this report focuses on two specific adhesives that Quantica has successfully validated with our NovoJet™ printhead, opening up new manufacturing possibilities for this category of materials. 

What's in this report?

Adhesives Overview

Understand the importance of adhesives in modern manufacturing and why conventional dispensing technologies are increasingly challenged by the demands for greater precision, scalability, and design complexity.Text

Materials & Applications

Discover how the NovoJet™ printhead successfully jetted two high-performance adhesives—an epoxy for fuel cell manufacturing and a temperature-sensitive methacrylate for e-motor manufacturing.

Rheology & Processing

Learn how precise temperature control is used to manipulate adhesive viscosity into the operational jetting window, ensuring predictable, near-Newtonian flow behavior regardless of shear rate
