It is learned from China Adhesive Industry Association that in the next three years, China will focus on the development of environment-friendly and energy-saving adhesives and will also vigorously research and develop new adhesive products with high-tech, high added value and high performance. Mainly include: waterborne polyurethane adhesive, waterborne neoprene adhesive, high performance and high quality pressure sensitive adhesive and products, VAE (vinyl acetate - ethylene) emulsion, EVA (ethylene - vinyl acetate) resin, SIS (styrene - Isoprene-styrene) resin and the like.

Waterborne polyurethane adhesives and waterborne chloroprene rubber adhesives are environmentally friendly products. In recent years, they have developed rapidly in industrialized countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan, and have been widely used in industries such as printing, packaging, construction, furniture and footwear, etc. In the future 5 years, China will increase research and development efforts of these two types of adhesives.
