2 More choice for Water-borne Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Finding the right adhesive latex to meet your exact requirements for pressure sensitive applications is as easy as contacting your Arkema Coating Resins representative. Our broad line of ENCOR acrylic adhesive polymers offers a comprehensive range of properties to meet your application needs. Polymer Properties Broad range of peel, tack and cohesive strengths Exceptional clarity in dry films Excellent flow and leveling Options for low temperature adhesion Allow high line speeds Options that meet FDA 21CFR For Filmic and Paper Labels Formulate for permanent or removable Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) applications, water resistance or low temperature performance. ENCOR latexes provide the right balance of adhesion, cohesion and tack to meet your requirements. You can also choose an ENCOR latex that offers adhesion to low energy substrates or that is suitable for direct-coated polyolefin applications. For Over-laminate Films ENCOR latexes offer excellent clarity and water-white color properties and can be direct-coated to polyolefin substrates for use in clear film applications. EnVia our commitment to sustainability. Products from Arkema Coating Resins that display the EnVia trade name have passed our rigorous certification program to ensure they are suitable for use in formulations for sustainable paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants and construction products. All products that are certified as part of our EnVia program will meet these global requirements: Have no added alkyl phenol ethoxylate (APEO) surfactants Have no added formaldehyde or formaldehyde-donor preservatives Are below regulatory reporting limits for carcinogens, reproductive toxins and ozone depleting compounds Have low residual monomer levels (<500 ppm) Have no added phthalates Have no added heavy metals Minimize use of volatile organic compounds (VOC) For Removable Protective Films Choose an ENCOR latex for protective film applications. Specific ENCOR acrylic binders offer excellent removable properties for temporary surface protection films.

3 Technical support to help optimize product performance. From product and application development to advanced Dynamic Mechanical Analysis and rheological profiling, Arkema Coating Resins works with customers to help maximize the value that an ENCOR adhesive polymer brings to your application. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis this useful methodology can be applied to develop a range of possible performance profiles from a specific binder. By varying polymer design and formulation ingredients, it is possible to target a specific set of properties that meet the performance requirements for a particular application E6 102 rad/s Debonding Frequency Viscosity (Pas) 1.E+02 1.E+01 1.E+00 1.E-01 1.E-02 1.E-02 1.E-01 1.E+00 1.E+01 1.E+02 1.E+03 1.E+04 1.E+05 Shear Rate (1/s) Figure 3: Rheology of a PSA formulated with two different coater packages.
