Sign & Digital UK (SDUK) has launched a series of online events exploring issues and best practice in the sector. The first installment, taking place on online events platform Hopin, is scheduled for 14 July and will be a masterclass on adhesives.
Following a welcome and networking session, Kevin Henry, Eurobond’s technical manager, will go on to explain how to avoid application and adhesive failures in signs, by understanding the chemistry behind adhesive and material choices. The event is interactive, with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss methods.
Mr Henry will proceed to explore:
- Choosing the right type of adhesive chemistry
- Adhesive choices for rigid and flexible materials
- The impact of environmental factors on adhesive choice
- Understanding loads or forces on the bond line
- Best practice surface preparation
- How to avoid contamination issues
- Adhesives commonly used in the sign industry and their pros and cons
- Temporary versus permanent installation
‘We’re delighted to offer the industry an online learning and networking opportunity, and a place to do business,’ said Jenny Matthew, event director at SDUK. ‘Our objective is to support business and to be a platform for learning and inspiration to help our community grow their businesses, diversify their offering, and put them at the top of their game. As we count down to the live event in March 2021, this online event series is the bridge keeping the industry connected, inspired, and doing business.’
