  • Tackifying Resins
    Tackifying Resins

    2025-12-04

    In many applications, acrylic adhesives do not require the addition of tackifying resins to improve pressure sensitivity, but in most cases, they are necessary: To increase initial tack and peel strength To improve adhesion to low surface energy materials Tackifying resins are commonly used in acrylic emulsion systems, such as paper labels and packaging tapes. They improve peel strength on difficult-to-bond surfaces, such as plastic films and biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films. The table below shows the typical characteristics of adding 40 parts rosin ester. It can be noted that initial tack and peel strength are significantly increased, but shear strength is reduced. This is due to a decrease in modulus and softening. Tackifying resins can sometimes also reduce the cost of the final adhesive product. A typical addition amount is 30-40% by weight. Tackifying resins with melting points significantly higher than the polymer's glass transition temperature can improve adhesive strength but reduce tackiness. Resins with lower melting points can increase adhesive tack and flexibility but sacrifice creep and shear strength. Tackifying resins are responsible for regulating the initial tack, peel strength, and shear strength of adhesives, and a trade-off must be made among various aspects of the system. The Effect of Tackifying Resins on Tg Although tackifying resins lower the modulus and make the system more flexible, they can generally increase the glass transition temperature by reducing the rubber plateau. Since viscosity is measured by the energy required for failure, the adhesive needs a high modulus at both strain rate and strain amplitude during failure. Tackifying resins increase the glass transition temperature of the elastomer, giving the adhesive mixture a high modulus at high strain rates and room temperature. Therefore, tackifying resins increase the modulus at low temperatures, short times, and high frequencies, but decrease the modulus at high temperatures, long times, and low frequencies. Tackifying resins used in acrylic emulsions need to be compatible with the base polymer resin and the surfactant system. Pre-emulsified tackifying resins can be used in aqueous systems. Rosin and C5/C9 petroleum resins are common products. Sinograce Chemical produces water-based tackifying resins for use in acrylic emulsion systems and water-based rosin for use in various adhesives.

  • Sinograce Chemical's Polyurethane Materials: Adhesive, Plastic, and Rubber Transformations
    Sinograce Chemical's Polyurethane Materials: Adhesive, Plastic, and Rubber Transformations

    2025-12-02

    Polyurethane (PU) can transform into a strong adhesive, firmly bonding tiles to walls; it can also become plastic parts like phone cases and keyboard keycaps; and even become shoe soles and sealing strips, exhibiting elasticity comparable to rubber. Why can the same material freely switch between the seemingly unrelated fields of "adhesive, plastic, and rubber"? Today, we'll uncover the secret of this "versatile" material by delving into the underlying logic of its molecular structure. What are the essential differences between adhesive, plastic, and rubber? Don't rush to say "you can tell from the application." From a materials science perspective, their core differences lie in their molecular chains: Material  type Core Features Essence Key features at the molecular level Glue Materials that can actively wet interfaces, bond with interfaces through chemical/physical interactions, and ultimately solidify to form stable bonds. Materials containing polar groups (such as -NH-, -COO-), easily forming hydrogen bonds or chemical bonds; capable of forming network structures through cross-linking reactions. Plastic Materials with a certain degree of rigidity, capable of maintaining their shape and not easily deformed under stress. Molecular chains arranged regularly (crystalline) or forming cross-linked networks, with restricted chain segment movement and small free volume. Rubber Materials with high elasticity, capable of large deformations and rapid rebound, and not easily permanently damaged after deformation. Molecular chains soft (low Tg), with free chain segment movement; possessing moderate cross-linking or physical anchoring points to restrict excessive chain segment movement. And polyurethane happens to have the "code" for all three properties written into its molecular structure. The Molecular Structure of Polyurethane The molecular chain of polyurethane consists of two key structural parts: Soft segments: usually derived from long-chain polyols (such as polyethers and polyesters), like soft ropes, can swing freely, giving the material flexibility and elasticity. Hard segments: Formed by the reaction of isocyanates and chain extenders, these segments have short, rigid molecular chains and can cluster together via hydrogen bonds to form crystalline regions, resembling small pebbles that provide strength and stability. These two types of segments are covalently linked, yet they behave like oil and water, "not interfering" with each other—soft segments aggregate together, while hard segments clump together, forming a "microphase separation" structure. It is this structure that allows polyurethane to achieve "free adjustment" of its properties: add more hard segments for a harder texture, and increase the proportion of soft segments for a softer texture. Why can it be used as an adhesive? Many types of tile adhesive used in home renovations and structural adhesives used in carpentry are made of polyurethane. Its strong adhesion relies on two ...
