An introduction to formulating adhesives enabling the optimization of base polymer properties for desired processing and performance characteristics within each adhesive application. For each class of additives, examples, benefits, limitations and levels of addition for waterborne, solvent based, and hot melt systems will be presented in this 90 minute webinar. Specific content to cover plasticizers, tackifiers, safe solvents, fillers, waxes, adhesion promoters, crossllinkers, dispersants and surfactants, humectants, thickeners (PVOH), defoamers, biocides, and antioxidants.
Ideal for chemists, technical service personnel and engineers looking to optimize performance/processing; end users of formulated products to maximize performance of their finished goods; business development professionals and market/product managers to expand their technical depth.
