Hence, for every data segment, there are three sources, one from the top-down approach, second from the bottom-up approach, and third from expert interviews. Only when the values arrived at from the three points match, the data have been assumed correct.
Market Definition.
According to Adhesive and Sealant Council, reactive hot-melt adhesives are solid prepolymers terminated in reactive groups manufactured from mixtures of solid and liquid polyester/ether polyols with isocyanates, which are very low in free isocyanates. These solid prepolymers have a lower melting point than conventional hot-melt adhesives but show final strength and mechanical performance similar to a reactive system. Each of the raw materials can be appropriately adjusted to obtain required pot life, open time, and green strength.
