Polychloroprene, developed in the 1930s as a substitute for natural rubber, is an extremely versatile synthetic elastomer that offers a unique combination of adhesive properties. Polychloroprene-based adhesives provide outstanding toughness, chemical resistance, weathering resistance, heat...

Polyurethane is a synthetic polymer derived from isocyanate reactions. Environmentally friendly water-based polyurethane adhesive was developed in the late 1960s. Polyurethanes are polymerized in water to produce a thermoplastic polyurethane emulsion. It then becomes thermoplastic and...

Acrylics are available as emulsions and dispersions as well as liquids containing 100% polymer. Acrylic emulsions are often used as a multipurpose adhesive. Dispersions provide an excellent paper-to-paper bond and are used in many laminating processes. A wide variety of acrylic and methacrylic...

Compared to PVAc homo-polymers, vinyl acetate copolymer emulsions offer the advantage of being able to bond difficult-to-bond substrates such as plastic films, coated papers, and metal surfaces. Vinyl acetate copolymer emulsions are internally flexibilized with a comonomer such as ethylene (VAE) or...

Starch-based adhesives are made from natural polymers derived from roots, tubers and seeds of higher plants such as maize, potatoes, wheat, rice and tapioca. A starch-based adhesive is either cold or warm water-soluble depending on the application specifications. Starch granules are slurried in...

EVA based adhesives are very versatile adhesives that can be formulated for a wide variety of applications. The type and amount of wax and resin used with the EVA copolymer can control the set time and the residual tack of the adhesive. In some instances, filler may be added to EVA adhesives for...

A small hand held hot melt adhesive applicator. Larger than a stick gun yet smaller than a tank or reservoir system. All-electric and ready to run, just plug in and glue Free-standing support from attached sturdy wire stand Insulated body for maximum safety and cool-touch Trigger activated piston...

APAOs are often used when a low cost adhesive with good acid or fuel resistance and moderate heat resistance is needed. These non-crystalline adhesives are soft, tacky, and flexible. This gives them longer open times and good adhesion. APAOs are used in the following industries: • Appliance •...

Polyethylene adhesives are good, general purpose adhesives. they perform well in moderate temperature ranges and are well suited for porous substrates where flexibility is not required. Polyethylene adhesives have excellent pot life stability, as they are not prone to charring. They also exhibit...

Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) is a synthetic polymer and a member of the vinyl ester family. PVAc emulsion adhesives first gained market share by replacing hide glues in the 1940s. Today, vinyl acetate adhesives are the most widely used adhesives on the market, but vinyl acetate emulsions are also...
