Ashland to launch acrylic adhesive at Labelexpo Americas

Ashland Performance Materials, a commercial unit of Ashland, will launch an acrylic adhesive at Labelexpo Americas. The Aroset 1177 adhesive is an emulsion for the coating and laminating industries. 

‘This latest product provides high adhesion to low energy surfaces while maintaining very high cohesive strength,’ said Richard Gaughan, marketing manager, adhesives. ‘It gives our customers and potential future customers a sustainable approach to pressure sensitive adhesive label applications that also delivers excellent resistance to environmental influences, which can cause other adhesives to fail.’ 

The newest acrylic is said to have excellent cohesion along with resistance to high humidity and remains tacky at low temperatures. Ashland’s Aroset 1177 adhesive is aimed at a broad range of applications, including labels, decals, industrial tapes and over-laminating films.
