美国胶粘剂及密封剂委员会（ASC）、欧洲胶粘剂与密封剂制造商协会（FEICA）、中国胶粘剂和胶粘带工业协会（CATIA）共同合作，对《ASC-CATIA-FEICA胶粘剂和密封剂分类指南》中发布的胶粘剂和密封剂行业的术语、定义以及市场分类进行了更新调整。

2020-2021年期间，ASC、FEICA和CATIA共同合作制定了一份重要的行业参考指南，其中包括胶粘剂和密封剂技术系列、终端应用市场和细分领域的定义、分类以及关键应用等。本次版本更新并替换了以前的分类指南。ASC、FEICA和CATIA的行业市场报告读者现在可以参考这些统一的定义，并比较北美、欧盟和亚洲的行业市场数据。

“ASC及其全球资源委员会牵头更新和重新编辑了该指南，该指南的上一版本发布于2012年，与FEICA和CATIA的合作为我们在行业术语、细分、关键应用和化学类型方面提供了更加全球与国际化的视野。”ASC会员和行业事务部总经理Steve Duren说道，“我们认为术语的统一非常重要，我们将会以五年为一个周期再次修订和更新该指南，以确保在全球主要地区对行业的技术和市场有一个共同的理解认知。”

中国胶粘剂和胶粘带工业协会杨栩秘书长表示：“本次更新的指南对胶粘剂剂和密封剂行业来说非常重要。它不但指导我们了解胶粘剂和密封剂行业应用的新进展，而且有助于我们正确地认识下游应用领域的细分。近年来，战略性新兴应用市场在不断地拓展，例如汽车、新能源、装配式建筑、电子工业、绿色包装等，这些领域给胶粘剂和密封剂企业带来了巨大的商机。我们非常高兴地看到这份指南的出版正当其时。”

美国胶粘剂及密封剂委员会主席Bill Allmond先生表示：“全球三个最大区域的胶粘剂和密封剂协会之间的合作，将会极大地帮助我们分享和了解市场的趋势和发展。ASC会立即将修订后的术语纳入到今年第二季度发布的北美市场报告中，同时，我也期待着在2022年4月芝加哥举行的第十届世界胶粘剂和密封剂大会上，与我们的全球合作伙伴交换市场数据。”

据悉，与2012年版本相比，本次修订的《胶粘剂和密封剂分类指南》中，明确排除了建筑涂料和建材、纺织品和纤维加工、皮革加工等领域用聚丙烯酸酯乳液；更改和补充了纸加工/包装的细分市场、民用工程（桥梁、公路、铁路道口、管道）中使用的结构胶粘剂、非结构胶粘剂和半结构胶粘剂；增补了乘用车/轻型卡车的胶粘剂种类，如车身焊装用胶粘剂、车身涂装用胶粘剂、汽车总装用胶粘剂、汽车电子及内饰用胶粘剂等分类；热熔胶产品分类中，分别增加了改性聚烯烃类热熔胶、EVA接枝热熔胶膜、聚酰胺热熔胶粉及网膜等。

ASC, CATIA, AND FEICA ANNOUNCE REVISIONS TO JOINT ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS CLASSIFICATION MANUAL

The Effort is Meant to Maintain Harmonized Terminology and Market Segmentation

The Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC), FEICA (the European voice of the adhesive and sealant industry), and CATIA (China Adhesives and Tape Industry Association) have partnered to update and harmonize adhesive and sealant industry terms, definitions and market segmentation published in the ASC-CATIA-FEICA Adhesives and Sealants Classification Manual.

In 2020-2021 ASC, FEICA, and CATIA collaborated on an important industry reference guide containing definitions, segments and key applications of adhesive and sealant technology families and end-use market segments and sub-segments. This document updates and replaces the previous classification manual. Readers of industry market reports from ASC, FEICA and CATIA will now be able to refer to these harmonized definitions and compare industry market data between North America, the European Union, and Asia.

“ASC and its Global Resources Committee led the effort to update and reposition the document which was last published in 2012. Working with both FEICA and CATIA provided us with a global view of terms, segmentation, and key applications and chemistry types”, said Steve Duren, ASC’s Managing Director of Membership and Industry Programs. “We think the harmonization of terminology is important and we believe we will likely again revise and update this document on a five-year cycle to ensure technology and markets have a common understanding across the key global regions.”

Michael Yang, Secretary General of CATIA, said, “This updated manual is very important for the adhesive and sealant industry. It not only guides us to understand the new application progress of the adhesive and sealant industry, but also helps us correctly understand the downstream application segments. In recent years, the strategic emerging application markets continue to expand, such as automobile, new energy, prefabricated building, electronic industry, green packaging, etc., which have brought huge business opportunities for adhesive and sealant enterprises. We are glad to see that the publication of this manual is at the right time.”

Bill Allmond, President of ASC, said, “This cooperative effort between the three largest regional adhesive and sealant associations will greatly assist us share and understand market trends and developments. Beginning immediately, ASC will incorporate the revised terminology into our next North American Market Report, which will be published in the second quarter of this year, and I look forward to exchanging market data with our global partners at the 10th World Adhesive and Sealant Conference in April 2022 in Chicago.”
