What are the advantages of a Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (HMPSA)?
Hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives can form bonds to both low and high energy surfaces very quickly. They are well suited for cold temperature applications and maintain adhesion in high humidity conditions. Hot melts can be applied at high coat weights for strong bonds, especially on rough surfaces.
How are water based adhesive for tapes and labels formulated?
Water based adhesives are formulated with a base polymer, a plasticizer, and other additives. The base polymer is selected to provide the balance of adhesion and cohesion needed for the end use application. The plastiizer helps to modify the viscosity and increase flexibility. Additives may include tackifying resins to increase adhesion, defoamers to improve processing, and wetting agents to adjust flow onto the coating surface.
