Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA)  

Used for both hot-melt and solvent-based technologies, Escorez tackifying resins increase the initial tack and long-term adhesion of pressure-sensitive tapes. These resins are compatible with styrene butadiene rubbers, butyl rubber, styrenic block copolymers, polybutenes, low-density polyethylene and atactic polypropylene.

In hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive applications, Escorez tackifiers contribute to:

• Lower raw material use than solvent- and water-based technologies
• Higher machine output
• Low coating weights

Tape manufacturers use Escorez™ 1000 and 2000 tackifiers to achieve:

• Strong hold even on difficult surfaces such as polyethylene
• Thermal stability even at low temperatures
• Light color and long-lasting clarity for good appearance
• Consistent viscosity for increased production on automatic and semi-automatic box-closing machines

Common pressure-sensitive products using Escorez tackifiers include:

• Packaging tapes
• Masking and paper tapes
• Tapes for hygiene applications
• Double-sided tapes
• Cloth and duct tapes
• Heavy-duty and reinforced tapes
• Electrical tapes
