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 adhesives can provide bonds ranging from flexible and tough to hard and rigid depending on the formulation. Acrylic adhesives inherently have very good resistance to moisture, UV and oxidative environments and are generally preferred for outdoor applications.

Resulting Properties

The table above provides an example formulation for an acrylic latex emulsion adhesive that can be used as a mastic adhesive for resilient and wood flooring. Robond FL-7400 is a polymer ideally suited to form the base for wet-set flooring adhesive formulations for resilient and some wood flooring. Formulations based on Robond FL-7400 exhibit excellent water and alkali resistance allowing for their use over greener concrete slabs. The binder also has the required low VOC content needed to help finished formulations pass GreenLabel+ and EC-1 environmental certifications.
