Freeze Season is officially here. As colder temperatures return from October 15 through April 14, we take precautionary measures to help protect freezable adhesive shipments and reduce the impact of winter weather on product transportation.

To help keep your adhesive shipments moving smoothly throughout the season, remember these best practices:

• Order ahead whenever possible to avoid potential weather-related delays.
• Allow additional lead time for freezable shipments.
• Verify your carrier can properly transport freezable products.
• Inspect adhesives upon delivery before use.

Not all products labeled as "marine sealants" are suitable for below-waterline use. Choosing the wrong sealant for the application can lead to swelling, softening, adhesion issues, and premature failure, especially in harsh marine environments.

This blog explores key considerations for marine sealant selection, common troubleshooting challenges, and why factors like water exposure, UV resistance, substrate compatibility, and cure conditions matter for long-term performance. Learn how to make more informed sealant decisions and help ensure durable, watertight results: https://www.appliedadhesives.com/blog/marine-sealants/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Marine&utm_content=

This October is , and at APPLIED, we’re going behind the spine.

From traditional glues and pastes used by bookbinders for centuries to the hot melt technologies that helped transform modern book production, adhesives have long played an important role in how books are made and how well they hold up over time. In some cases, they can even contribute to that distinct “book smell” many readers recognize.

Starting this month on our LinkedIn page, Cameron Heffernan will share practical troubleshooting tips for bookbinding professionals, helping bindery teams look beyond the symptoms to identify the adhesive, equipment or process variables behind common challenges like stringing, page pull, cover shifting, wrinkles and more.

Give Cameron a follow and stay tuned for his first troubleshooting tip.
