Waterborne Adhesives


Water-based (or more commonly referred to as waterborne) adhesives are typically formulated from either, natural polymers – from vegetable sources (e.g. dextrins, starches), protein sources (e.g. casein, blood, fish, soybean, milk albumen), and animal sources (e.g. hides, bones), or soluble synthetic polymers – from polymers including: polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose ethers, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, and polyvinylpyrrolidone.

These adhesives may be supplied as solutions or formulated as dry powders which must be mixed with water prior to application. The strength of the adhesive is attained when water is lost from the glue line by evaporation or absorption by the substrate.

Selection Guide

Emulsion Polymers Selection for Adhesives and Sealants

By Dr. Alexander Madl

Emulsion Polymers are tremendously versatile! They have vast chemistries and provide low cost, low emissions, zero VOC, good shelf-life, freeze-thaw stability, and potential sustainability in many adhesive formulations. Due to these benefits, the emulsion polymers are increasingly used in adhesives and sealants to serve growing needs in diverse sectors and applications. Get a comprehensive review about the fundamentals of emulsion polymers and learn everything you need to know in this guide

Rheology Modifiers Selection for Adhesives and Sealants

By Edward M. Petrie

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.
