Rütgers Group GmbH - Resins C9 Harze

Solvent based Adhesives must show high initial tack and a good resistance to ageing (e.g. assembly adhesives). Parquet adhesives have to give low swelling and good shear resistance. Additionally low viscosity at high solid content is important.

NOVARES resins offer the following advantages:

• improved adhesion to the substrates and heat resistance
• increased thermoplastic character
• lower processing viscosity
• adjustment of open time
• allowing the use of acid or basic pigments and fillers in processing.

Numerous benefits for the formulation of carpet adhesives:
For water and solvent based adhesives the tackifier resins NOVARES CA and TNA are proven as alternative to natural resins. Natural resins show no homogeneity and contribute to crystallization. The tackifier resins NOVARES CA 80, CA 100 and TNA 80 exhibit the following advantages:

• no tendency to crystallize
• inhibit the tendency of natural resins to crystallize in compounds
• excellent compatibility with PVAc-polymer solutions
• uniform product quality
• increased initial tack.
