This section gathers all Performance DataSheets, which are case studies on technical solutions brought to adhesives & sealants formulators .

Renewable TPUs For Textile & Footwear
The Textile & Footwear industries, driven by new environmental companies' corporate policies and regulations, favour the usage of renewable-sourced polymers solutions meeting increasing market needs towards sustainable polymers that minimize the use of petrochemical resources, while ensuring optimum performance.

Add "Green Strength" to your PU Reactive Hot Melts
Polyurethanes (PU) Reactive Hot Melts are recognized as one of the preferred Solvent-Free adhesives solutions, challenging PU water-based dispersions in a wide range of applications, where adhesion performance on complex geometries and energy efficiency are key drivers.

Discover an Excellent Chloroprene Alternative in the Footwear and D-I-Y Industries
Polychloroprene is a versatile synthetic rubber usually used to make contact adhesives. Supplies of such a material are being significantly reduced with some grades of polychloroprene being discontinued altogether. As a result, adhesives formulators have to count on an alternative allowing for equal performances while being cost-efficient.

Get Improved Road Maintenance Devices Adhesion
In construction areas, the installation of traffic control products such as markers or delineators for the maintenance of traffic represents a strong challenge for the end-user who needs to apply the adapted adhesive. They have to cope with the sidewalk / pavement characteristics in order to provide a strong contact-type bond while absorbing impacts and maintaining low-level damage to the pavement surface.

Bonding of door panel and instrument panel (Solvent base TPU adhesive)
This substrate is previously heat activated at 70°C (hot air), and then the foamed PVC foil is added and vacuum is applied for 10 seconds. The edges are bonded manually by the operator.

Improve your adhesive performance to low surface energy substrates
The growing demand for higher performance in tapes and labels, as well as the increased use of plastic parts in automobile design and manufacture, has made the job of formulating adhesives more difficult.

Formulate UV curable acrylic HMPSA
Unformulated UV curable acrylic polymers do not match the adhesion performance required for high-performance tape and label applications. The use of the right tackifier resin will help formulators to find the right balance between adhesion and cohesion properties of HMPSA for tapes and label applications.

Formulate High Performance Adhesives
Many different adhesive types are used in food-packaging applications including hot melt, solvent-based and water-based. Most solvent and water-based types are used unformulated, i.e. without the addition of tackifier resins, especially for flexible packaging laminations.

Tackifier Resin Synergies
One of the key challenges of holt-melt packaging applications is improving the heat resistance by increasing the molecular weight will have a negative impact on the above parameters, especially viscosity.

Improving Creep Resistance
Cohesive strength at elevated temperatures, such as typical body temperature, is a critical property of hot melt adhesives used in diaper construction.
