European Adhesives & Sealants (EAS), the magazines for the adhesives industry in Europe, is a quarterly publication that appears in PPCJ four times a year: in March; June; September and December issues.
There is a natural synergy between the coatings business and the adhesives business with many of the same companies operating in both industries and adhesive and coatings products using very similar raw materials.
Therefore, it made considerable sense for the once separate EAS journal to be incorporated into PPCJ from 2004 and give both magazines the benefit of an extended readership across both industries.
