- 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...

How Do You Select the Right Tg for a Water-Based Acrylic Label Adhesive
- 2026-07-22 18:56:18
- admin
When formulating a water-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive for labels, Tg is usually one of the first parameters we set. It indicates whether the dry adhesive film will behave relatively soft or firm at a given temperature and influences initial tack, peel adhesion, holding power, low-temperature performance and adhesive ooze. However, Tg alone does not determine whether an adhesive is sui...
