Basic adhesive

An adhesive is made out of different commodities. These
commodities are the basis for the tacking (=adhesion) and
its proper stability (=cohesion).

These essential commodities and their mixture define the
different using and application properties.


Commodities

1. synthetic Polymers
eg. PCR, SBS, TPU -
-> do influence adhesion and cohesion

2. synthetic and/or modified natural resins
-> do influence tacking/adhesion

3. Additivs
eg. softener, ageing inhibition, colours

4. Solvents
eg. petrol, aceton, water, heat/temperature
