Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

Arkema Coating Resins offers a range of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) to provide the right balance of adhesion, cohesion and tack required for the manufacture of PSA tapes, labels and films. Within the ENCOR® range are specific products, such as ENCOR® 4211, for the

production of PSA plastic films fortemporary protection of glass, metal or plastic surfaces during the storage or transportation. In line with our strategic direction to bring continuous new product development and innovation, ENCOR® 4500 & ENCOR® 4517 have been recently developed to combine

a very high solid content (68%) with a low viscosity while offering a very high peel adhesion and tack as well as a good response to tackifiers. All these fine-tuned properties make these grades ideal candidates for your permanent PSA applications.
