Binders that enhance the green credentials of your flooring adhesives

  • EC1+ certification for your products
  • Low-VOC properties
  • High durability and ageing stability
  • Ideal combination of adhesion and cohesion
  • High solids content enables fast drying.

Synthomer’s EC1+ binders will enhance the green credentials of your flooring adhesives. EPA studies show that indoor pollutant levels can be two to five times higher than outdoor levels, and one major source of indoor pollutants is carpet installation adhesives that don’t meet emissions requirements such as EC1+.

Our acrylic and low-VOC, APEO-free binders have been specifically developed to boost the green credentials of your flooring adhesives. They are ideal for use in adhesives for flooring applications such as carpets, PVC, linoleum and rubber.

SYNTHEBOND™ E 2800PA

SYNTHEBOND E 2800 is an acrylic copolymer emulsion designed as a high solids pressure sensitive adhesive. This product provides high peel levels while maintaining good tack and shear properties. It finds applications in flooring mastics, permanent film adhesives and labels for highly filled paper and/or freezer grades.

Tacolyn™ 3400 Resin DispersionTackifier DispersionTacolyn™ 3400 resin ester dispersion is an aqueous, 55% solids, solvent-free, anionic rosin ester dispersion prepared from a highly hydrogenated, high softening point resin. It is recommended for use in food packaging applications such as closures, lidding, and cold seal adhesives, as well as pressure sensitive adhesives that contact food. Tacolyn™ 3400 is also used in adhesives applications requiring higher temperature strength such as in high temperature masking tapes, packaging tapes, and contact adhesives.
  • APE-free
  • Direct food contact FDA clearances
  • Excellent thermal and UV stability
  • Good moisture resistance
  • Promotes high temperature performance
Tacolyn™ 3570 Resin DispersionTackifier DispersionTacolyn™ 3570 Resin Dispersion is an anionic, aqueous, solvent-free, and APE (alkylphenol ethoxylate) free dispersion of a stabilized rosin ester. It is designed for use in pressure sensitive adhesives based on acrylic polymer emulsions or carboxylated SBR polymer emulsions, where it greatly enhances the tack and peel to polyethylene and carton board
  • APE-free
  • Broad compatibility
  • Excellent silicone liner wetting
  • Excellent thermal and UV stability
  • Good pigment and substrate wetting
  • Good storage and mechanical stability
  • Improves adhesion to polyethylene and polypropylene packaging substrates
  • Light color
  • Low surface tension
  • Outstanding tackifier in waterborne adhesives
  • Resistance to acids and alkalies
Tacolyn™ 5003 Resin DispersionTackifier DispersionTacolyn™ 5003 resin dispersion is an aqueous, 45% solids, solvent-free, anionic hydrocarbon resin dispersion. It is recommended as a single tackifier for anionic polychloroprene latex polymers used in contact adhesive applications. When used as a modifier for contact adhesives, Tacolyn™ 5003 imparts outstanding high temperature performance, excellent contactability and good moisture resistance without the use of a second reinforcing tackifier.
  • APE-free
  • Good moisture resistance
  • Good thermal and UV stability
  • Promotes cohesion
  • Promotes high temperature performance
Tacolyn™ 5085 Resin DispersionTackifier DispersionTacolyn™ 5085 resin dispersion is an aqueous, 55% solids, solvent-free anionic hydrocarbon dispersion prepared from a low molecular weight, aliphatic C5 hydrocarbon resin. It is recommended as a tackifier for isoprene rubber and natural rubber latex polymers used in tape applications. Tacolyn™ 5085 is a good reinforcing agent that maintains excellent peel control when used in pressure sensitive tapes.
  • Good reinforcing agent that maintains excellent peel control
  • Resistance to acids and alkalies
