Solving your toughest adhesive challenges The range of our adhesive polymers goes far to meet your needs. They are proven performers in creating the long-lasting, high quality bonds your customers expect. They are versatile enough for an array of applications, offering lot-to-lot consistency, enhanced flexibility, workable viscosities, increased strength, higher solids, and resistance to a broad range of temperatures.

the possibilities
Equally important, they are supported with some of the best resources in the industry, including global technical support specialists with a keen understanding of the adhesives industry, plus the direct experience to help you solve problems. Together, this product family delivers solutions to your most complex adhesive challenges. Additionally, each individual product lends its own unique strength: Neoprene is one of the most versatile materials ever developed as a base for elastomeric adhesives. AquaStik is a water-based adhesive for solventfree foam fabricating and wood laminating. Hypalon CP achieves near-instant bond speeds and serves as a primer for better adhesion. Viton fluoroelastomer enhances resistance to high temperatures and aggressive fluids. Addressing evolving market needs As the market continues to evolve, DuPont Performance will respond with improved polymers that anticipate and meet your changing needs. This commitment extends to developing innovative alternatives to traditional polymers, such as water-based adhesives, that meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

Neoprene

polychloroprene
a d h e s i v e s

While Neoprene latex adhesives have long been used in specialized applications, todays increasing environmental awareness and concerns for flammability and occupational health have heightened the markets need for alternative materials. DuPont Performance has increased its focus on developing water-based adhesive polymers that perform as well as, if not better than, solvent-based adhesives. Neoprene latexes are aqueous colloidal dispersions of Neoprene, or copolymers of chloroprene and other monomers. Waterbased adhesives offer a unique combination of inherent characteristics, including good contactability; excellent film formation; flexibility; polarity; and high, uncured cohesive strength. They provide elastomeric properties over a wide temperature range and actively resist flame, temperature, weather, ozone, heat, water, and many oils and chemicals. Neoprene water-based adhesives are complemented by a range of tackifiers and promoters for good bonding to many substrates.

Applications
Neoprene latexes are designed with different polymeric and colloidal characteristics to serve a variety of formulated adhesive applications: Adhesives Laminating Contact Bond Footwear Foam-to-Foam Pressure-Sensitive, Heat- or Solvent-Activated Mastics Binders Saturants and Wet-End Additives (paper, nonwovens, and bonded batts) Asphalt Modification Aggregates such as Resilient Surfacings Coatings Industrial Decorative

Neoprene

polychloroprene
a d h e s i v e s

Neoprene polychloroprene has been universally accepted as one of the most versatile materials ever developed as a base for elastomeric adhesives. It is compatible with a variety of porous and nonporous substrates, creating bonds that resist degradation by oils, chemicals, water, heat, sunlight, and ozone. Elastomeric adhesives offer more than a flexible glue line. Their ability to yield slightly under peel- or shear-stress conditions distributes the force over a larger area. The elastomeric nature of the bond also allows it to resist rupture or delamination due to impact. Neoprene delivers a combination of polarity and crystallinity that further improves its strength and versatility in bonding a wide range of substrates.

Applications
Neoprene is used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications, including: High-Pressure Lamination Footwear (sole attaching and upper assembly) Coated Fabrics Seaming (inflatables, tarpaulins) Automotive (headliners, trim attachment, and vinyl roofs) Furniture Floor / Ceramic Tiles Consumer Contact Adhesive

Hypalon CP

chlorinated polyolefins

Chlorinated and chlorosulfonated polymers have a long history in the coatings and adhesive industries. They have been used to impart flexibility and to promote adhesion in a variety of formulations. The DuPont Performance family of solutionchlorinated and chlorosulfonated polyolefins can be used in a wide variety of adhesives and adhesion-promoting roles. Hypalon CP family polymers are high-value, specialty chlorinated polyolefins that are useful as adhesion promoters or binder modifiers for coatings, adhesives, and inks. Some nonplastic surfaces, including aluminum and galvanized steel, can be made more receptive to coatings and inks with these materials.

This is a growing product family, dedicated to meeting todays and tomorrows demanding adhesive-formulation needs. Waterborne and 100% solids-reactive systems are under development.

Applications
Hypalon excels in a diversity of applications and industries: Footwear Automotive Parts (TPO) Engineering Plastics Toys Molded Container Applications Epoxy Flexibilizer Waterborne Coatings Modifiers 100% Reactive Adhesive Systems

Viton

fluoroelastomers

Solvent-based coatings of Viton fluoroelastomers are the best choice to seal, adhere, and encapsulate materials where other elastomers may degrade or fail due to high heat or aggressive chemicals. A flexible coating made from Viton can extend the service life of coated substrates by protecting them from harmful environments. Coatings of Viton have been used successfully on most materials, including metal and other elastomers. In adhesive applications, Viton forms a strong bond that can flex without failure after repeated temperature cycling and vibration. For over 40 years, Viton has demonstrated exceptional performance in the most demanding situations. If you have a hard-tosolve adhesive, coating, or caulking problem requiring a product that can withstand high heat or aggressive chemicals, Viton may be your answer.

Applications
Viton is used in a variety of highly demanding applications, including: Aerospace Adhesives Automotive Seals and Coatings Environmental Protection with Caulks and Coatings Caulk
