Solvent-Based Contact Adhesives
Chemistry Overview
ForzaBuilt solvent-based adhesives deliver fast tack, deep penetration, and strong initial grab on porous and difficult substrates.
Solvent-based adhesives use organic solvents as carriers to deliver polymer concentration at the bond line. As solvents flash off, the system develops rapid tack and strong bonding, especially on porous materials.
Production Challenges We Help Solve
- Bonding porous or flexible materials where water-based systems provide insufficient tack.
- Contact-bond assemblies where both surfaces are coated and flashed before mating.
- Applications requiring high initial green strength before full cure.
- Cold-temperature application where water-based systems can perform poorly.
