Solvent-based adhesives are industrial adhesives that use solvent as a carrier for the resin.
They are quite versatile and can be used across any industry, in many different applications. They are very high performance and are great on lamination applications, and for bonding difficult-to-bond substrates. They are indispensable in the production of flexible packaging. Most of this packaging is composed of two or more layer held together by laminating adhesives.
Solvent-based glues have gotten a bad name for themsevles over the years, based on their name.
They’re called solvent-based adhesives because they use solvents as their base, but this doesn’t mean they have a harmful amount of solvents in them. Many solvent-based adhesives have completely safe levels of solvents in them, and will not adversely affect the users’ health. Solvent-based adhesives are very quick. Designed for more demanding and long-term applications, they are ideal in industries where speed of application and production is needed. Megabond polyurethane adhesives provide a very strong bond, are easy to use, can be sprayed, roll-coated, depending on your application, can be used for more difficult-to-bond substrates, high mechancial strength, as well as good flexiblity and chemical resistance. Before we provide our final recommendations we’d like to understand something about your application, or laminated structures and do some product testing.
