Polyurethane Dispersions
- 2026-01-31 14:11:01

Polyurethane materials are a general term for a class of macromolecular compounds that have urethane structures in their molecular structure. They are usually prepared by the polyaddition reaction of diisocyanates and polyols. Polyurethane polymers possess both polar functional groups that allow for physical cross-linking and non-polar and flexible chain segments. When used properly, these po...

The Adhesive Component of Self-Adhesive Label Materials
- 2026-02-13 10:02:57
- admin
One component of self-adhesive label materials is the adhesive, also known as glue. The adhesive determines the label's stickiness and applicable scenarios. The adhesive is also the bonding layer between the label and the object it's applied to; its stickiness, temperature resistance, and magnetic adhesion directly affect the label's adhesion effect. It can be divided into the following categories...

Basic Knowledge of Waterborne Polyurethane Emulsion Synthesis

01 Polyurethane The structure of polyurethane is formed by the reaction of polyisocyanates (e.g., diisocyanate OCN-R-NCO) and polyols (e.g., diol HO-R-OH), where urethane segments are repeating structural units. Polyurethane structures have structures similar to amide and ester groups; therefore, the chemical and physical properties of polyurethane are between those of polyamides and polyesters. S...

Many people find themselves torn when selecting materials: since both are used for coatings, which one offers greater durability? Which is the more suitable choice for waterproofing during renovation? In reality, neither possesses an absolute advantage over the other; the key lies in the specific requirements of the application scenario. Today, we will clarify the core distinctions between the two...

How Water-Based Acrylic Emulsion Supports Adhesives, Coatings, Inks and Packaging Applications
- 2026-06-09 17:46:10
- admin
If you are looking for water-based acrylic emulsion for adhesives, coatings, inks, textiles or packaging, here is what you should know. Water-based acrylic emulsion is widely used in modern industrial formulations because of its good film-forming performance, adhesion, transparency and environmental advantages. As more industries move toward water-based and low-VOC solutions, acrylic polymer emuls...

Why Are Some Waterborne Polyurethane Dispersions Milky White While Others Are Translucent
- 2026-07-16 15:53:46
- admin
Waterborne polyurethane dispersions, commonly known as PUDs, may appear milky white, translucent, or slightly bluish in the liquid state. This difference is mainly related to particle size, particle size distribution, and how strongly the dispersed particles scatter visible light. In general, milky dispersions scatter more light, while finer dispersions allow more light to pass through. However, a...

What Is the Best Adhesion Promoter for UV Inks
- 2026-08-01 10:23:15
- admin
When UV ink comes off during a tape test, the primer is often blamed first. However, poor adhesion can also result from the film surface, contamination, incomplete primer drying or incorrect UV curing. Here, “adhesion promoter” refers to a primer applied before printing. No single grade is suitable for every plastic film. Choose the Primer by Substrate PET and BOPET films often benefit from a prim...

How to Choose the Right Water-Based Resin for Your Application
- 2026-08-05 17:59:28
- admin
Choosing a water-based resin should begin with the application, not with viscosity, solids content, or price. Products with similar technical data can behave very differently in production. A resin may work well on paper but show weak adhesion on plastic film. A coating may form properly under heated drying but remain tacky at room temperature. A low-viscosity polyurethane dispersion may look too ...

As global environmental regulations such as EU REACH and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 become increasingly stringent, traditional solvent-based PU systems face growing restrictions in protective glove manufacturing. With advantages such as low VOC emissions and no DMFa residue, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) emulsions are rapidly becoming a key choice for glove manufacturers transitioning from solvent...

A good hot stamping result depends on more than the foil it self. The adhesive layer affects transfer quality, edge definition, adhesion, drying, and storage stability. When selecting a water-borne adhesive for hot stamping foil production, start with three points: the substrate, the coating process, and the stamping temperature. Check the Substrate Hot stamping foil may be used on paper, OPP, PET...

How to Diagnose Printing Defects on PP, PE and PET Films
- 2026-08-28 17:54:10

Printing problems on plastic film do not always come from the same part of the process. Ink may shrink immediately after transfer. A printed layer may look normal but fail a tape test after drying. Some problems only appear after water exposure, rubbing or when the press reaches normal production speed. During troubleshooting, it is useful to record when the defect first appears before changing se...
