Multifunctional Additives for Adhesives
EVOL applies molecularly engineered silicone technology to adhesive formulations to improve substrate wetting, control foam and support consistent flow.
OVERVIEW
Performance from Ink Production to Print
Adhesive performance depends on consistent contact between the formulation and the bonding surface. Differences in surface energy, viscosity, air content and compatibility can affect spreading, coating continuity and process stability. EVOL helps formulators identify whether wetting, foam, flow or dispersion is limiting application performance, then define a focused additive trial under relevant process conditions.
EVOL application-engineering approach considers the adhesive system, substrate and coating or dispensing method before an additive is evaluated.
INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
Key Formulation Challenges
Common formulation and processing priorities include:
01
Pigment Dispersion
The adhesive must spread uniformly and make consistent contact across different substrates characteristics.
02
Foam & Entrapped Air
Air introduced during mixing, circulation or coating can create voids and interrupt a continuous adhesive layer.
03
Flow & Application
Viscosity, flow and leveling must suit the selected coating, spraying, dispensing or laminating process.
04
Compatibility & Stability
Formulation components must remain well distributed and compatible during production, storage and use.
