The adhesive industry relies on a diverse range of chemical components to achieve specific performance characteristics. Chemicals provide a crucial building block in the production of polyurethane (PU) adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), hot-melt adhesives, PVC Solvent cement to name a few types adhesives. They are used to enhance the adhesive’s flexibility, elasticity, strength, impact resistance, and hydrolytic stability. Chemicals also help dissolve and disperse adhesive components, control viscosity, facilitate wetting of the substrate and adjust drying time.
