Water-Based Adhesives
Strong Bonds.
Cleaner Air.
At Innokan Technochem, our Water-Based Adhesives are designed with a focus on sustainability and performance. Developed using polyvinyl acetate (PVA), acrylic polymers, and natural binders such as starch and casein, these adhesives deliver strong, reliable bonding with low VOC emissions, supporting eco-conscious manufacturing processes.
Our formulations meet the rigorous demands of industries requiring secure adhesion, environmental compliance, and operational efficiency, without compromising performance even in high-volume production lines.
Key Benefits
Low VOC Emissions: Reduces hazardous emissions, ensuring safer work environments and easier compliance with regulatory frameworks.
Food-Grade Capabilities: When formulated correctly, our adhesives are safe for food-contact packaging, meeting industry safety standards.
High Compatibility: Bonds effectively with paper, cardboard, and laminates, supporting a wide range of industrial applications.
Eco-Friendly Formulation: Based on water dispersion technology, significantly reducing environmental impact compared to solvent-based adhesives.
Flexible Performance: Modifiable drying times and bonding strength to suit different substrates and application environments.
Thermal Stability: Offers resistance against heat and moisture when properly formulated with additives.
Applications
Folding Cartons and Envelopes: Provides excellent bonding strength for high-speed paperboard folding and envelope manufacturing lines.
Labelling: Delivers clean and strong adhesion for paper labels across various product categories, ensuring no label distortion or lifting.
Bookbinding: Used extensively in spine gluing and cover lamination, providing flexibility without cracking over time.
Laminating: Suitable for combining paper, film, and board layers where lightweight, strong adhesion is required.
Technical Composition
Base Polymers: Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA), Acrylic Polymers
Additives: Plasticizers, Crosslinkers, Wetting Agents (to improve adhesion on low-energy surfaces and enhance water resistance).
Drying Profile: Slower drying compared to hot melt adhesives, especially on non-porous substrates; drying can be accelerated with heat-assisted systems.
Water Resistance: Can be enhanced through the use of coalescing agents or specific crosslinking technologies.
Natural Binders: Starch, Casein
Advantages Over Solvent-Based Adhesives
Reduced Health Risks: No solvent fumes, leading to better indoor air quality.
Lower Processing Costs: No need for costly ventilation or solvent recovery systems.
Environmental Compliance: Facilitates LEED certifications and green building credits for industries moving toward sustainability.
