Flexbond 165 acrylic copolymer Air Products Acrylics/ Acrylates ADHESIVE ADHESIVE >> Hot-melt >> Pressure sensitive (HMPSA) Flexbond 165 emulsion is a very high-solids acrylic copolymer that dries into a film which exhibits pressure-sensitive properties. It offers a unique balance of good peel and very good dry tack with moderate-shear properties. In addition, Flexbond 165 emulsion maintains flexibility at low temperatures. Flexbond 165 emulsion is a moderately cohesive acrylic copolymer which can modify adhesion without excessive loss of strength properties. The emulsion is mechanically stable and has excellent machining properties. Dry films of Flexbond 165 emulsion are clear; have excellent water resistance properties; and resist degradation by ultraviolet radiation, oxygen and ozone. Compounding Flexbond 165 emulsion is compatible with most vinyl acetate homopolymers and copolymers. Care should be taken in some systems due to the high solids content of Flexbond 165 emulsion. It can be blended to vary levels of adhesion, dry tack and cohesiveness. Applications: Flexbond 165 emulsion is a polymeric adhesion promoter useful in the lamination of various films and foils to cellulosic surfaces. Adhesion to PET film and aluminum foil is improved with Flexbond 165 emulsion. In addition, Flexbond 165 emulsion is a versatile pressure-sensitive adhesive. This emulsion is readily tackified by a wide range of tackifier dispersions, mainly rosin-based materials. Through such tackifying, improvements in tack and adhesion to low-energy surfaces, such as polyolefins, can be obtained. High-solids acrylic copolymer emulsion for pressure-sensitive adhesives.
