ENGINEERED POLYMER SOLUTIONS: Acrylic Polymer

Engineered Polymer Solutions (EPS) recently launched EPS® 2180, a high-solids, all-acrylic polymer designed to help adhesive and sealant formulators balance key performance requirements. Ideal for vinyl flooring adhesives, film-to-film lamination and plasticizer-free pigmented caulks, the polymer offers formulation flexibility across a broad range of adhesive and sealant applications.
"EPS® 2180 was developed to address a common challenge for adhesive formulators: achieving excellent peel adhesion without sacrificing shear performance," said Robert W. Sandoval, Ph.D., R&D technical director at EPS. "The polymer also delivers high-temperature shear resistance in a waterborne acrylic system.”
Developed with the needs of adhesive and sealant formulators in mind, key features include:
- 60% solids
- Broad adhesion
- High-temperature shear resistance
- Plasticizer resistance
The polymer is also made without APEOs and fluorosurfactants.
