<I>EASTMAN</I> AQ 2350 Copolyester Eastman Chemical Polyester >> Sulfonated ADHESIVE >> Hot-melt >> Pressure sensitive (HMPSA) ADHESIVE >> Hot-melt >> Non pressure sensitive (HMA) ADHESIVE >> Water-based >> Non pressure sensitive ADHESIVE >> Water-based >> Pressure sensitive (PSA) Dispersible in water Non dispersible in ionic environments EASTMAN AQ 2350 copolyester is an odorless water-dispersible sulfopolyester incorporated as a base polymer raw material for water-dispersible hot melt adhesives. This new AQ 2350 odorless polyester represents the advantages of both the linear and branched compositional families. This product is inherently water-dispersible due to the random incorporation of 5-sodiosulfoisophthalate units within the polymer backbone. AQ 2350 is compatible with hydrophobic polar tackifies, glycol containing oils which allows for a variety of hot melt adhesives to be formulated. These finished adhesives are then rendered water-dispersible by the efficacy of this polyester as a surfactant. Suggested end use applications include non-woven "flushable" assemblies, recyclable packaging and pressures sensitive products. Potentially available in a range of viscosities, this material offers the following key features: Commercially available MITI approved Odorless Readily dispersible Non-dispersible in ionic environments Good adhesive performance characteristics Approved for Indirect Food Contact Applications Starting point formulations available in WA-62D Eastman Web literature. Excellent adhesion to polyethylene substrates. Adhesives, hot melt or aqueous. Hot-melt adhesives Copolyester. Odorless water-dispersible sulfopolyester incorporated as a base polymer raw material for water-dispersible hot melt adhesives. Eastman's branched sulfopolyesters can have a distinct odor that is not desirable in selected applications. Represents the advantages of both the linear and branched compositional families.
