MATERIAL REPORT
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
