Applicable Base Polymer Properties
This adhesive reacts primarily by solvent diffusion into the plastic substrate or by its pressure sensitive (tacky) nature.
Acrylonitrile butadiene or nitrile adhesives are the most versatile of the general purpose rubber types, but they are less popular than neoprene based adhesives. Nitrile rubber elastomers are commonly used as solvent based adhesives and sealants.
Nitrile adhesives are used to bond vinyl, other elastomers, and fabrics where good wear, oil and water resistance are important. Nitrile adhesives are also good for bonding vulcanized and unvulcanized rubbers to various surfaces.
