Adhesives Report: Rheology and Advanced Inkjet Development for High-Viscosity Materials
Ben Hartkopp, Brijesh Savalia
Adhesives are foundational to modern manufacturing, used in virtually every consumer, medical, and industrial product, including electronics, automotive components, and packaging. While the majority of adhesives today are applied using traditional dispensing methods, this report focuses on two specific adhesives that Quantica has successfully validated with our NovoJet™ printhead, opening up new manufacturing possibilities for this category of materials.
Key takeaways:
- Why adhesives need a new deposition path — conventional dispensing technologies are increasingly challenged by demands for precision, scalability, and design complexity in modern manufacturing.
- Two high-performance adhesives jetted with NovoJet™ — an epoxy for fuel cell manufacturing and a temperature-sensitive methacrylate for e-motor production.
- Rheology under digital control — precise temperature control manipulates adhesive viscosity into the operational jetting window, ensuring predictable, near-Newtonian flow regardless of shear rate.
