August 21 (Fri), 2026: Basic Principles of Adhesion and Release Mechanisms of Adhesives and Adhesive Tapes, and Design and Evaluation Methods - Zoom Seminar Scheduled

AndTech Inc. (Headquarters: Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Masao Toyama; hereinafter referred to as AndTech) will explain "Types of Adhesives, Constituent Materials, and Adhesion/Release Mechanisms."

-- Why do they stick, and why do they peel off? Understanding the essence of the adhesion phenomenon --

Due to popular demand, we will also hold this in fiscal year 2026!

The instructor will explain while using whiteboards and showing examples with tapes so that participants can learn enjoyably even in an online lecture!

--------------------------------------------------

【Participant Comments】

-- It was very easy to understand, with the specialist knowledge, which should have been difficult, explained in an easy-to-understand manner, incorporating demonstrations using actual products.

-- It was kind of you to use actual items and explain on the whiteboard. It was easy to ask questions.

-- I am just beginning to study adhesives, so I appreciated the thorough and easy-to-understand explanation, including basic knowledge.
