    Original: Commonly used water-based adhesive thickener, what are the advantages?

    Adhesives can be seen everywhere in our daily lives, whether it is as small as the packaging box, or as large as the use of medical equipment and equipment, you can see the shadow of the adhesive, and the use of adhesives does bring a lot of convenience

    Water-based adhesives

    So why add aqueous adhesive thickener to the adhesive?

    Because the adhesive needs to add water to dilute various solutions during the production process, the adhesive is eventually formed


    If there is indeed less thickener in the water-based adhesive, what are the negative effects?

    (1) Increase cost: increase the amount of raw materials added, resulting in rising raw material prices and increasing costs;

    (2) Affect the use: the viscosity is not enough, the stability is not good; The consistency is too thin, the fluidity is poor, affecting the use;

    (3) Affect the quality: the consistency is not enough, resulting in the quality of the product is not good, the customer experience is poor, increasing customer complaints and returns


    What type of thickener is commonly used in water-based adhesives? What are the advantages?

    Water-based adhesive thickener is a hydrophobic modified association type anionic alkali swelling thickener, with high shear viscosity, brush retention, good hiding power, good splash resistance


    Water-based adhesive thickeners are widely used in adhesives, glues, VAE emulsions, PVAC emulsions, acetylace emulsions and other polymergonal emulsions of vinyl acetate, which have a good thickening effect without adjusting the pH of the system, with low thixotropy and high thickening effect
