Additives and polymer dispersions for adhesives and sealants — from lamination to the construction joint.
Adhesives and sealants are highly filled, rheologically demanding systems: a sealant must stay put in the joint yet extrude easily, a laminating adhesive must apply bubble-free with controlled initial tack, a waterborne dispersion adhesive must be let down foam-free. Substrate wetting decides adhesion.
Our range for this: acrylic and PU dispersions from Alberdingk Boley as the binder base of waterborne adhesives, plus BYK defoamers, wetting agents and rheology additives — from phyllosilicates to liquid thickeners.
Typical defects — and where the solution lies
Sealant does not stand in the joint
Build stability with thixotropic rheology — while keeping extrudability. — Rheology additives →
Foam when milling waterborne dispersion adhesives
Defoamers matched to the milling process and application method. — Defoamers →
Building adhesion on critical substrates
Wetting decides adhesion — substrate wetting additives help on films and non-polar surfaces. — Surface additives →
