10 “The Jowat application engineers operate in a well-structured global network and close interchange with R&D. We exchange informations across all industries and search for parallels.” Interview partner Dr Xaver Karsunke Business Development Manager China not be applied as fast and as accu- rately as a hot melt system which exhibits a substantially higher vis- cosity. Since the Jowatherm-Reaktant® has a low viscosity for a hot melt and in combination with an open time of approximately one minute, it is suitable for high-speed production, but also permits the manual corrections mentioned (long open time). After complete curing, a very high bond strength is reached, typical for reactive hot melt adhesives. This means that this hot melt adhesive reacts with humidity to form a bond of superior strength. cartridges, an amount exactly tailored for the adhesive application systems used in the manufacture of mobile phones. Editor: Similar highly specialised adhesives must surely be used in other areas. Where for example? Karsunke: As assembly adhesive, this product can also be imagined for automotive interiors, for medical equipment and in the electronics industry, for example in the assembly of speaker boxes, since this adhesive exhibits superior adhesion to many different plastics, glass and aluminium. Editor: “Small adhesive from a cartridge which is heated and then applied by a syringe onto many minute surfaces in the course of a fast pro- with superior accuracy”, this was the customer inquiry. How is this kind of inquiry handled at Jowat, how fast can resources be pooled to offer innovative adhesive solutions to customers in the shortest possible time? Karsunke: The technical applications support provided by Jowat forms a tight global network, cooperating closely with R&D. We exchange information across all departments and search for parallels.An adhesive for the assembly of smartphones was found in no time due to the extensive Jowat product portfolio. The challenge consisted in Our production managers are all the technology in a very short time. After four months, in coordination with the manufacturer of the application technology, the entire bonding system went on line at the customer. Editor: Innovative products, globally crosslinked competence in support, development and manufacture. This is a good example for the innovative power of a medium-sized company with close customer relationships. Dr Karsunke, thank you very much for the interesting insights.
