The shift towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly formulations has driven significant growth in water-based inks and adhesives. However, achieving robust performance, particularly in terms of adhesion to various substrates, remains a key challenge for formulators. This is where a strategic partnership with a specialized manufacturer and supplier of adhesion promoters becomes invaluable. Our expertise lies in developing chemical auxiliaries that empower these water-based systems.

Water-based inks and adhesives, while beneficial from an environmental standpoint, often require specific additives to ensure they perform optimally on a range of surfaces, from porous paper and cardboard to non-porous plastics and coated films. The inherent properties of water as a solvent and carrier can sometimes limit the interaction between the ink/adhesive and the substrate compared to solvent-based systems. This is precisely the gap that high-quality adhesion promoters are designed to fill.

By incorporating a suitable adhesion promoter into your water-based ink or adhesive formulation, you can achieve several critical performance enhancements:

  • Improved Substrate Wetting and Bonding: Adhesion promoters help to lower the surface tension of the liquid formulation, allowing it to spread more effectively across the substrate. They then create a strong chemical or physical link, ensuring the ink or adhesive adheres tenaciously.
  • Enhanced Durability: Bonds created with the aid of adhesion promoters are typically more resistant to environmental factors such as moisture, abrasion, and temperature changes. This is vital for packaging inks, labels, and assembly adhesives that must withstand various conditions.
  • Broader Application Range: With enhanced adhesion, water-based inks and adhesives become viable options for a wider array of substrates, including challenging low-surface-energy plastics or highly processed surfaces.
  • Performance Boost in Composite Materials: In applications where inks or adhesives are part of a composite structure, adhesion promoters can improve the interface between different components, leading to stronger, more reliable final products.
