Additives by function

The adhesive industry is always searching for new technologies to achieve the best formulations for their customers. The ideal adhesive is the result of a smart combination of base polymers and additives, which allows the properties to be adjusted for a specific application.

The basic requirement to be innovative in this environment is a deep understanding of adhesive formulations, specifically how the effects and the interaction of different additives play a crucial role in the proper formulation of an adhesive.

Our technical expertise and a broad range of standard test methods enable us to evaluate adhesive properties and to recommend suitable additives according to specific needs.

The following chart shows the formulation process of an adhesive as well as the final applications for the tailor-made formulations. Different adhesive applications make different demands on additives. To meet these specific demands we offer an additive package for adhesive formulations covering all properties that need to be adjusted.

Electrical conductivity

Hydrophobizing

Mechanical properties

Rheology modifiers

Stabilizers
