Research abstract
Lynntech can develop water-soluble, pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) sticky foam based on thermoplastic polyacrylate polymers. polyacrylate PSAs sticky foam are non-toxic and have high structural stability. PSAs contain adhesive components that impart different properties in support of joining or fastening. They can be removed using simple cleaning chemicals and formulas. The properties of the sticky foam can be modified by adding nucleating agents, surfactants, and fire retardants. Polyacrylate PSAs are made of synthetic resins and are inherently tacky. Advantages of polyacrylate PSAs include good resistance to oxidation, lower cost compared with polysilicone PSAs, good clarity, resistance to moisture, and specialized formulations with tailored properties. Upon release to atmospheric pressure, the solvent vaporizes creating bubbles within the polyacrylate resin and thereby generating a sticky foam.
