Pure Monomer Resins - Fine Tuning Adhesives Formulations for Demanding Applications
Pure monomer resins (PMRs) can provide formulators with the tools needed to fine-tune adhesives formulations to meet specific appplication requirements without affecting other key performance properties.
A familiar example can be found at the deli counter of any supermarket. Ready-to-eat meats frequently come in resealable packaging that includes a combination of rigid and flexible plastics. This application requires an adhesive that can seal and re-stick to multiple types of plastic, even when exposed to meat juices. The adhesive must also be low color to meet consumer preference and comply with FDA regulations for direct contact with food. An application such as this requires a complex adhesive formulation.
