BOSTIK SHARES HOW TO GET MOST OF ADHESIVES WITH ATTENDEES OF EDANA MENA 2018 SYMPOSIUM

Bostik, the specialty industrial adhesives line of Arkema, reviewed factors to consider when making adhesive supply decisions.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – February 7, 2018 – Bostik, a leading global adhesive specialist in disposable hygiene, was an active participant in the recent Middle East and North Africa Nonwovens Symposium & Exhibition hosted by EDANA.

Bostik’s Seif Shaarawy, Managing Director of Bostik Egypt, presented “Get the Most from Your Raw Materials / Adhesives.” He discussed how producers can optimize the use of materials in the production of baby diapers through the correct selection and use of adhesives and adhesive suppliers.

Shaarawy stressed the impact the right adhesive can make on the ability to attain business goals with adhesives acting as enablers to meeting today’s market needs. The right adhesive can enable consumer noticeable features like softness, odour, core integrity absorption, and discretion. Meanwhile, adhesives also enable producers increased flexibility in substrate and equipment selection, operational efficiencies and cost in use.

Bostik’s message was well received by the more than 200 attendees at the symposium. Additional representation was available in the exhibit hall for those who had additional interest in Bostik’s point of view on elastic components in hygiene products.
