What is water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive?
Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive is prepared from a combination of water, emulsifier, polymer emulsion, latex, etc., and does not contain organic solvents. It is generally used at room temperature, without adding any special additives to create adhesion. Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive has many advantages, including environmental protection, safety and ease of operation. The nature of water-based adhesives has low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, so they are environmentally friendly and do not pose a hazard to human health, are easy to clean, and do not damage equipment.
Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are used in a variety of applications, including leather shoes, handbags, handicrafts, packaging manufacturing, etc. They can be applied to various material surfaces, such as paper, animal skin, fabrics, etc., and are suitable for bonding and packaging various products. Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives can bond instantly upon contact with the substrate, while providing good adhesion, easy handling, and can bond at room temperature.
Advantages and characteristics of water-based emulsion PSA adhesive
1. Environmental protection | Water-based adhesive replaces organic solvents with water to achieve low volatile organic compound (VOC) properties, which are environmentally friendly and harmless to the human body.
2. Safe and non-toxic|Water-based adhesives are generally non-toxic and non-flammable, and there is no need to worry about organic solvent leakage and other problems during storage, making storage easier and using safer.
3. Adjustability | Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives have various series to suit and meet different application requirements, such as heat resistance, flexibility or adhesion to specific substrates.
