About Adherent Laboratories, Inc.

Adherent Laboratories is an independent adhesives and materials R&D, consulting, and testing laboratory. 

Our strength is the experience of our people, all of whom each have over 30 years of experience in Hot Melt, Water Base, Solvent Base, Epoxy and Urethane adhesive technology as chemists and managers. We collectively hold over 40 adhesives patents, and offer complete theoretical and practical knowledge of adhesive technology.

Let Adherent Laboratories change the way you look at adhesives.

Here are some quick examples:

  • In the “big scheme” of manufacturing, adhesives almost always make up a very small portion of the raw material cost. But choosing the right adhesive can eliminate extra packaging, processing and reduce assembly and inventory costs while improving end product reliability, customer satisfaction and competitive advantage. Making a low-risk-change by changing your adhesive can potentially yield a huge strategic product and processing benefits.
  • Switching adhesives allowed a customer to eliminate pads and side panels for shrink- wrapping cans, saving thousands.
  • Modifying an adhesives formula gave one diaper manufacturer a huge competitive advantage in their support tabs. The competition has still not caught up!
  • Large adhesive manufacturers and adhesive consumers can eliminate the need for in-house testing, analysis and QA of adhesives. Or, adhesive consumers can eliminate potential biases and time delays of having their existing adhesive manufacturer perform these tests and reports.
