In addition to a low carbon footprint, polylactic acid brings value to multiple applications through performance attributes such as a high modulus, excellent solvent and grease resistance, and food contact compliance.
Henkel’s new Technomelt GA 3980 Ultra reportedly features excellent heat and cold resistance, improved flexibility, and high adhesive strength, even on substrates that are difficult to process.
Henkel recently announced the introduction of Technomelt GA 3980 Ultra, a hot-melt adhesive that is reportedly suitable for all melting systems and can be used for bookbinding and a variety of binding applications.
Thermoplastic olefin (TPO) materials belong to the larger group of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). As such, they come in many formulations and can be molded into parts with different surface finishes. Increasingly used in the automotive industry as an alternative to high-cost, heavy metal materials, TPO plastics present unique bonding challenges for pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) manufacturers.
Reactive hot-melt (RHM or HMPUR) adhesives are solid prepolymers terminated in reactive groups (-NCO-) manufactured from mixtures of solid and liquid polyester/ether polyols with isocyanates, which are very low in free isocyanates.
