Structural adhesives industry is emerging industry with rapid development in China, and its producing technology is developing. Overall technology level of the industry is improving gradually as the entry of international adhesives enterprises and the market demand development. The rapid pace of technological innovation and products upgrade need to accept the challenges of new materials and new technology.

At present, the industry technological level of structural adhesives in our country can be divided into three levels: one is international adhesives manufacturing enterprises including Momentive Special Chemical Industry, Germany Henkel, Dow Chemistry. They have hundred history of producing and the strength of technology development. The other is national structural adhesives leading enterprises including our company, Huitian Adhesives, Beijing Tianshan ect. They start the adhesives business earlier in the country and have more than ten years manufacturing history with strong ability of technology R & D and independent innovation. They can compete with international famous adhesives enterprises in some fields whether products technology or brand. Another is a great quantity of medium-sized and small enterprises with a certain market and production and sales, but no continuous power of products development and technology talents reservation.

The development of our country structural adhesives is based on the introduction, digestion and absorption foreign technology. The technology level of leading enterprises in the field has improved greatly including system designing, processing and manufacturing, products testing technology and equipment level through technological development and improvement of many years. At present, the structural adhesives in our country has partly supplied by ourselves in place of imported products in some new industry application field, such as wind power, solar energy, high-speed rail etc.

As for the structural adhesives industry, enterprises need to design the special prescription according to the actual operating environment and customers’ special demand of downstream application field at the stage of R & D. At the stage of trial-produce, enterprises need to manufacture sample based on the customer demand and do lots of experiments and tests for the sample until meeting requirement. At the stage of volume production, it needs to design the special process flow and control strictly every productive technology. Every product must pass a series of strict tests before leaving factory. Enterprises must have higher R & D, technology and prescription level to meet high-performance products requirements.

In general, the main enterprises in this field will welcome the rapid development period in 3-5 years. The enterprises will highly value the core competitiveness progress, such as independent innovation ability, technology level of products, cleaner production etc. under the situation of rapid development of new field including new energy, environment protection and energy-saving, and industry standard improvement Increase the productivity to lower the products cost through enhancing products scale and automation level. As for the products R & D, pay more attention to energy-saving and environment protection and function.
