日前，亚什兰公司推出一种新型纯丙烯酸酯压敏胶。这款胶粘剂完全不含己烷、甲苯和醋酸乙烯酯单体，其高固含和低粘度意味着它可以应用在传统的涂布技术。还可以在速度更快的设备上使用，这也得以降低其使用成本。

　　在欧洲，终端用户有助于推动立法改变来保护环境，这就使得胶带生产商不得不重新定位产品。而Aroset PS 5333可以在不牺牲性能的前提下，提升终端用户的产品质量，从而顺应法规的变化。

　　Ashland Specialty Ingredients, a business unit of Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH), has launched Aroset PS 5333, a pure-acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) that is free of hexane, toluene, and vinyl acetate monomer. The adhesive’s high-solids and low viscosity mean it can be applied with conventional coating techniques, yet can be run at faster line speeds to reduce applied cost.

　　"End-users are helping to drive legislative change across Europe to protect the environment, and that’s moving tape and graphic manufacturers to rethink their products," said Stuart May, business director, Ashland Specialty Ingredients, EMEA. "Aroset PS 5333 adhesive gives them a means to improve their product ahead of changing regulations, so they can maintain compliance well into the future without sacrificing performance."

　　In vinyl graphic and industrial tape applications, this solvent-based adhesive delivers aggressive tack and excellent ultimate peel adhesion on a wide variety of substrates. It has great affinity for various types of foams and provides great anchorage to monomeric and polymeric vinyl. In testing it demonstrates enhanced aging performance and good cohesion properties, even at elevated temperatures.

　　Aroset PS 5333 adhesive shows robust wet properties. It provides superior pigment acceptance, wetting and stability when coated on release liners. It is a significant addition to Ashland’s existing line of solvent, solvent-free, emulsion and UV/EB adhesives and coatings.

　　"This product demonstrates Ashland’s commitment to delivering innovation and value to our customers," said Jacob van der Bent, sales manager Europe. "Our service, application and process experience provides customers with the right balance of performance and sustainability to help them compete more effectively."
