Reactive Specialty Adhesives Have Emerged As A Promising Alternative To Standard Adhesives Used For Interior As Well As Exterior Applications

 

Reactive Specialty Adhesives

Reactive Specialty Adhesives are advanced adhesives that helps in creating bonding process between a liquid and a non-viral substance or polymer. It can be described as a mechanical way to create adhesives to a substrate. Specialty adhesives have emerged as a promising alternative to standard adhesives used for interior as well as exterior applications.

High-performance Reactive Specialty Adhesives are designed to meet a wide range of building and architectural applications, including architectural polyvinyl acetate (APA), drywall, marine applications, gypsum, melamine, polystyrene, polyurethane foam, and sealants. The key features of the high-performance adhesive include high heat resistance, excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, thermal stability, excellent odor control, and ultraviolet stabilization.

Reactive Specialty Adhesives is manufactured with extreme precision and is made up of highly developed material and advanced technological processes. They are more reliable than mechanical fasteners and offer greater strength, compatibility, and overall durability. Reactive adhesives are often required in applications where temperature or pressure is a significant factor. In such cases, superior adhesive properties are especially important.

Whether it is the manufacture of the sealants or the application of these sealants, the world consumption of this unique specialty adhesive is growing at a rapid pace. The specialty sealants market has experienced unprecedented growth over the past five years, driven by new environmental regulations and rising consumer awareness of the need for safer building practices. With demand increasing in countries like China and India as well, the demand for domestically manufactured sealants has grown. The world consumption of reed diffusers, flame retardant paints, and water-resistant paints are also growing at a rapid pace.

Recently, BASF offers a new vinyl monomer in commercial quantities. VMOX is particularly suitable as a reactive diluent in UV curing inks and coatings, which can, for example, be used for digital UV printing.
