What Is A Water Based Adhesive?

Water-based adhesives are formulated using a combination of water, polymers, and additives to create a versatile adhesive that is effective for bonding porous and non-porous substrates. These adhesives are typically developed as solutions and are activated when the water evaporates or is absorbed by the substrate.

There are several different types of water-based adhesives available, each with their unique chemistries. Some of the most common types of water-based adhesives include VAM-based emulsions (such as VAE or PVA emulsions), acrylic-based emulsions, natural-based or bio-based adhesives, natural rubber adhesives, liquid polyurethane for structural engineering and food packaging/flexible laminates (LIOFOL), and various additives designed for use in water-based adhesive applications.

Water-based adhesives are widely used in many different industries due to their effectiveness, ease of use, and eco-friendly nature. They can be used for a variety of materials and applications, from woodworking and packaging to food packaging and flexible laminates. By choosing a water-based adhesive, manufacturers can achieve reliable bonding while also reducing their environmental impact.

What Are The Advantages of Water Based Adhesives?

Water-based adhesives present a multitude of benefits compared to other adhesive varieties, rendering them a favored option for numerous applications. Key advantages of water-based adhesives encompass:

Eco-friendliness: Lacking harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to air pollution and adversely affect human health, water-based adhesives serve as an environmentally-conscious alternative to solvent-based adhesives.

Safety: Non-toxic and safe for handling, water-based adhesives diminish the risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals for workers.

Effortless clean-up: Water-based adhesives can be readily cleaned with water, rendering them an optimal choice for applications where spills or untidiness are prevalent.

Versatility: Suited for an extensive array of materials such as paper, cardboard, textiles, and wood, water-based adhesives can be tailored to meet specific application requirements, including those necessitating high strength or flexibility.

Cost-effectiveness: Generally more affordable than other adhesive types, water-based adhesives provide a cost-efficient solution for various applications.

Superior bonding properties: Water-based adhesives exhibit exceptional bonding characteristics, including excellent adhesion to a diverse range of substrates and high shear strength.

In summary, water-based adhesives constitute a dependable, safe, and environmentally responsible choice for a myriad of applications. They offer numerous advantages over alternative adhesive types, including versatility, cost-effectiveness, and superior bonding properties.
