Solvent-borne Adhesives

Dispersing agents are essential formulation components in adhesives and sealants to effectively disperse fillers or solid particles. They provide electrostatic or steric stabilization to prevent particles from flocculating, thereby eliminate any viscosity change and phase separation. While creating a new formulation, one must choose dispersing agents with appropriate dosage level for specific product & end-user requirements.

Rheology modifiers improve the viscosity and have a great impact on the application characteristics of adhesive and sealant formulations. They help you to adjust the flow properties as well as prevent settling down of fillers during settling and transportation in your formulation. Explore the importance and role of rheology modifiers along with their chemistries, selection process, formulation and testing guidelines in order to easily adjust the flow characteristics of your final adhesive formulation.
