Using Hydrogenated Rosin Resins to Optimize Adhesive Formulations
This article is the second in a series designed to address the fundamentals of adhesive and sealant formulation.
The growing demand for ultra-clear tapes and labels, as well as the increased use of plastic parts in automobile design and manufacture, has made formulating adhesives more difficult. Many of these substrates present unique adhesion challenges. In addition, adhesives for these higher-end uses require excellent clarity and long-term color stability. These demanding criteria necessitate using well-designed tackifiers to meet these stringent requirements.
