Bostik Develops a New Generation of Technical Solution for Cycle Racers
Paris -- Bostik, the specialty adhesives business line of the Arkema group, and A.S.O., organizer of the Tour de France, join forces for the third year in the row to improve the performance of cyclists with a new generation of adhesive bibs.
Vital for the identification work carried out by the commissioners, the bibs needed significant technical improvements to adapt to the jersey mesh in order to be lighter, more flexible and more elastic. Usually attached with safety pins, Bostik and A.S.O have been thinking about the development of a new generation of adhesive to apply on these materials in order to limit irritation on skin, perspiration and to better support the movements of cyclists.
