Water-based emulsions , recommended adhesives

Phenylene oxide-based resins (Noryl ) epoxy, polyisocyanate, polyvinyl butyral, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber, polyurethane rubber, polyvinyUdene chloride, and acrylic. Polyethylene-nitrile rubber, polyisobutylene rubber, flexible epoxy, nitrile-phenolic, and water-based (emulsion) adhesives. Polystyrene for these foams (expanded polystyrene (EPS)), aromatic solvent adhesives (e.g., toluol) can cause collapse of the foam cell walls. For this reason, it is advisable to use either 100% solids adhesives or water-based adhesives based on SBR or polyvinyl acetate. Specific adhesives recommended include urea-formaldehyde, epoxy, polyester-isocyanate, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, and reclaim rubber. Polystyrene foam can be bonded satisfactorily with any of the following general adhesive types ... 

Polyurethane epoxy, polyester, polyacrylate, polyhydroxyether, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, water-based (emulsion), polyurethane rubber, neoprene, SBR, melamine-formaldehyde, and resorcinol-formaldehyde are specific types. Generally, a flexible adhesive should be used for flexible polyurethane foams. Synthetic elastomer adhesives with fast-tack characteristics are available in spray cans. Solvent-based neoprenes are recommended for resistance to stress, water, and weathering. Solvent-based nitriles are recommended for resistance to heat, solvents, and oil. Water-based adhesives... 

ALCOGUM 296-W is recommended primarily as a stabilizer, protective colloid, and thickener for water based systems, such as natural and synthetic rubber latices, and polymeric dispersions, such as polyvinyl acetate and polyacrylate emulsions. It possesses unique adhesive, suspending, emulsifying, and film-forming characteristics, making it ideal for any other industrial uses. 

A review of the traditional use of resins as tackif iers for elastomers in solvent-applied adhesives is presented. Following is a discussion of how this technology is extended to water-based systems. Data is discussed on the use of various backbone polymer latexes, modified with the proper resin emulsions to achieve pressure—sensitive adhesive properties. Recommendations are also given for the proper choice of resin type to achieve optimum properties with each specific class of elastomer. 

The microbicide is recommended for use as an industrial preservative for the protection of water-based functional fluids with pH values > 7 such as latex paints, resin emulsions, adhesives, pigment slurries, concrete additives, metalworking fluids. Its compatibility with protein containing formulations is very limited. Normal use levels range between 0.1 and 0.3%. The spectrum of efficacy (see Table 31) covers above all bacteria as is characteristic for a formaldehyde releasing compound. 

Product COSAN 91 is a liquid organic compound which is water soluble and recommended for use as an industrial preservative against bacterial deterioration in water-based systems such as resin emulsions, adhesives, dispersed colors, and ready-mixed joint cements. 

Product COSAN 101 is an effective preservative for resin emulsions, latex paints, adhesives, dispersed colors, pigment slurries, and ready-mix joint cements. This product is a 77.2% aqueous solution of 4,4-dimethyloxazolidine and its trimethyl homolog. This organic molecule contains only four elements carbon hydrogen oxygen nitrogen and when used at recommended levels will prevent bacterial deterioration of water-based systems.
