Resulting Properties

SBR based adhesives have a good combination of low cost, adhesion, physical properties, and processing characteristics. An SBR hot melt adhesive formulation for a floor and wall tile mastic is provided above. This adhesive does not have pressure sensitive characteristics, and it can be applied as a typical solvent borne mastic. It also provides a starting formulation for a solvent borne sealant for more general construction applications.
