日前，亞什蘭公司推出一種新型純丙烯酸酯壓敏膠。這款膠粘劑完全不含己烷、甲苯和醋酸乙烯酯單體，其高固含和低粘度意味著它可以應用在傳統(tǒng)的涂布技術。還可以在速度更快的設備上使用，這也得以降低其使用成本。

　　在歐洲，終端用戶有助于推動立法改變來保護環(huán)境，這就使得膠帶生產(chǎn)商不得不重新定位產(chǎn)品。而Aroset PS 5333可以在不犧牲性能的前提下，提升終端用戶的產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量，從而順應法規(guī)的變化。

　　Ashland Specialty Ingredients, a business unit of Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH), has launched Aroset PS 5333, a pure-acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) that is free of hexane, toluene, and vinyl acetate monomer. The adhesive’s high-solids and low viscosity mean it can be applied with conventional coating techniques, yet can be run at faster line speeds to reduce applied cost.

　　"End-users are helping to drive legislative change across Europe to protect the environment, and that’s moving tape and graphic manufacturers to rethink their products," said Stuart May, business director, Ashland Specialty Ingredients, EMEA. "Aroset PS 5333 adhesive gives them a means to improve their product ahead of changing regulations, so they can maintain compliance well into the future without sacrificing performance."

　　In vinyl graphic and industrial tape applications, this solvent-based adhesive delivers aggressive tack and excellent ultimate peel adhesion on a wide variety of substrates. It has great affinity for various types of foams and provides great anchorage to monomeric and polymeric vinyl. In testing it demonstrates enhanced aging performance and good cohesion properties, even at elevated temperatures.

　　Aroset PS 5333 adhesive shows robust wet properties. It provides superior pigment acceptance, wetting and stability when coated on release liners. It is a significant addition to Ashland’s existing line of solvent, solvent-free, emulsion and UV/EB adhesives and coatings.

　　"This product demonstrates Ashland’s commitment to delivering innovation and value to our customers," said Jacob van der Bent, sales manager Europe. "Our service, application and process experience provides customers with the right balance of performance and sustainability to help them compete more effectively."
