Novel, all-acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions with inherently lower surface energy display significantly improved adhesion to LSE substrates such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
The prevailing trend toward the use of lighter weight and lower cost engineered plastics in automotive, construction, aerospace, electronics, and other industrial uses has created a need for pressure-sensitive materials that can bond well to these new, inherently low-surface-energy (LSE) plastics. This article discusses novel, all-acrylic compositions with inherently lower surface energy that display significantly improved adhesion to LSE substrates such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
Proprietary manufacturing processes ensure that formulators can enjoy attributes such as higher neat polymer solids, viscosity and freeze-thaw stabilities.
A lot of recent discussion has focused on making construction adhesives and sealants green by eliminating formaldehyde, plasticizers or solvents. Are there similar alternatives for the coatings that are often
