Applicable Base Polymer Properties

Acrylic emulsions offer a low cost adhesive with moderate performance properties. They are tremendously versatile due to the large number of different monomers and resins available. Acrylic waterborne laminating adhesives can provide bonds ranging from flexible and tough to hard and rigid depending on the formulation. Acrylic adhesives inherently have very good durability and are generally preferred for textile washing and drying applications.

Resulting Properties

This specific adhesive formulation is recommended for use as a foam-to-fabric or foam-to-foam laminating adhesive. It will provide the following properties:

Especially suitable as a backcoating for piece-dyed or yard-dyed upholstery fabrics where softness as well as durability is required
Characterized by resilience and low temperature flexibility
Superior UV resistance
Durability to washing and dry cleaning.

The adhesive will provide good bond strength to a variety of natural and synthetic fibers as well as to polyurethane and other foams.
