Solvent-borne Adhesives

Performance of solvent-based adhesives is largely determined by the polymer system in the formulation. The choice of adhesive type depends on the specific substrates and environmental resistance needed – temperature- oil and plasticizer resistance, etc. Most solvent- based adhesives contain flammable solvents which require proper precautions for safe handling. In addition, many organic solvents are regulated due to environmental concerns regarding emissions.

Main types: Solvent borne pressure sensitive adhesives (based on styrenic block copolymers, natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber & acrylic polymers), solvent-borne non-pressure sensitive adhesives (based on SBR or butyl rubber) and solvent- borne contact adhesives (based on polychloroprene rubber).
