Abstract
Looks at the increasing pressure from both environmental and health and safety aspects to overcome the problems associated with solvent-based adhesives and comply with current and proposed legislation. Discusses the four basic solutions of using solvent containment, safe and environmentally-friendly solvents, high solids systems and solvent-free adhesives. Concludes that the long-term option is solvent-free systems such as water based, hot-melt and liquid reactive adhesives, but substantial advances in technology are required if they are to make major inroads in the solvent-based adhesive market.
