SME AD98-336

The pressure label industry continues to demand higher performing, more economical products from its polymer suppliers. Higher performing products can be characterized in various ways, including improved polymer physical properties, pressure sensitive adhesive properties, and coatings and converting behavior. In response to these demands, new polymer technologies for the production high performance PSAs for a variety of paper and film labels, tapes and miscellaneous applications are being researched and developed. Recent developments in acrylic emulsion, acrylic hot melt and carboxylated SBR emulsion polymers will be reviewed. The benefits these technologies to technical, manufacturing, processing and sales functions at adhesive compounding and coating organizations will be discussed.
