SBR 1012 and SBR 1013 elastomers
For pressure-sensitive tape and label adhesives
The key elements of a good tape are that it must
dispense easily, the adhesive must have good shear
resistance, and it must stick well to the intended surface
without a tendency for premature lifting. When a roll of
tape is unwound, it should not show undue stick or
unravel. The labels must stick to the intended substrate,
but when they are removed they must be lifted cleanly
without leaving traces of adhesive on the substrate. The
nature of failure, whether adhesive or cohesive, will
depend upon the balance between the initial strength,
cohesion, force of attachment at the interface and the
rate of stripping.
The high molecular weight of SBR 1012 plays an
important role during the compound design of tapes and
labels. It yields an adhesive film with enhanced cohesive
strength that will not leave residue on the substrate. In
SBR 1013, the level of bound styrene, type of emulsifier
and the molecular weight of polymer play an important
role during the compound design for tapes or labels. A
higher styrene level acts as a reinforcing agent, yielding
a firmer adhesive film with higher modulus. If
formulated correctly, it will yield a correct balance of
adhesion, cohesion and shear resistance necessary for BENEFITS
tape and label applications. - Low water absorption
- Firm adhesive film
- Higher initial modulus
- High green strength
APPLICATIONS - Excellent removability
