Q1: What are the environmental and safety benefits of a 100% water-based adhesive?
A: It contains no solvents or VOCs, significantly reducing health risks, fire hazards, and environmental impact. It is non-toxic, low-odor, and easy to clean with water, making it safer for operators and compliant with strict indoor air quality regulations.
Q2: What types of substrates and sealing applications is this adhesive best suited for?
A: It is ideal for porous materials such as paper, cardboard, wood, and fabric, commonly used in carton sealing, packaging assembly, bookbinding, and lightweight material lamination. For non-porous surfaces (e.g., plastics, metals), surface preparation or testing is recommended.
Q3: How does the drying performance compare to solvent-based adhesives, and what factors affect curing time?
A: Drying is primarily through water evaporation, which can be slower than solvent-based systems. Drying time depends on coating thickness, humidity, temperature, and air circulation. Accelerated drying can be achieved with warm air dryers or increased ventilation. Bond strength develops fully once water evaporates.
