Adhesives

Polymers, crosslinkers, tackifiers and additives for pressure-sensitive, structural, hot-melt, packaging, and construction adhesive systems.

Adhesive performance is governed by a balance most coatings never face: the polymer must wet and adhere to two often-dissimilar substrates while developing internal cohesion that resists peel, shear, and (depending on application) elevated temperature or chemical exposure. Choice of base polymer chemistry, tackifier balance, and crosslinker package determines whether you get a removable label adhesive or a structural bond rated for 80 °C continuous service.

Coatingsink supplies adhesive raw materials across the full taxonomy: acrylic emulsions and dispersions for PSAs and water-based bonding, SIS and SBS thermoplastic elastomers for hot-melt PSAs, polyurethane prepolymers and hardeners for laminating and structural bonding, epoxy systems for structural metal bonding, polyamide and EVA for hot-melt packaging, and the rosin esters, hydrocarbon resins, plasticizers, and crosslinkers that complete each formulation.

How to Choose Adhesives

Key selection criteria buyers use when specifying adhesives for trade and OEM formulations

01

Base Polymer Chemistry

Acrylic for clarity and weatherability (PSA tape, labels). Rubber-based (SIS/SBR) for cost and aggressive tack on low-energy substrates. PU for flexibility and abrasion resistance (laminates, footwear). Epoxy for structural metal bonding. EVA hot-melt for packaging speed.

02

Substrate Surface Energy

Polyolefins (PE, PP) need primer or silane-promoted adhesion (often APS or vinyl-silane). Metals respond well to PU and epoxy with phosphate or chrome conversion pretreatment. Glass and ceramic accept silane-coupled acrylic or epoxy.

03

Cure & Set Mechanism

Solvent-based contact adhesives set on solvent flash. Water-based PSAs need controlled film formation. 2K PU and epoxy cure by reaction. Hot-melt sets on cooling — cycle time matters. Cyanoacrylate for instant set on small parts.

04

Service Temperature & Environment

Standard PSAs lose holding power above 60 °C. PU and high-Tg acrylic extend that to 80–100 °C. Epoxy with anhydride hardener and structural acrylic reach 150 °C+. UV/weather exposure favors acrylic over rubber-based.

Adhesives FAQ

Solvent acrylic PSAs give superior adhesion to low-energy plastics, faster line speeds, and better high-temperature shear holding. Waterborne acrylic emulsions (like our HN5000 / HN6000 series) match most performance metrics on standard label and tape applications, with much lower VOC and easier coating cleanup. The choice is increasingly regulatory and operational, not performance-driven.
