Simacryl® ETC-211 is widely used for producing industrial tapes, such as paper tapes and labels.
It is suitable for applying on the low energy substrates such as PVC and Silicon papers, by adding thickening agent or wetting agent.
It is also designed for adherence and laminating (PE, OPP and paper).
At temperature above 50°C, adhesion loss incurred.
Mixing Simacryl® ETC-211 with another Simab resin product (ETC-301) for ex.) is recommended to achieve high heat resistance.
0.05-0.2% wetting agent is recommended to overcome wetting problems.
Adhesives based on Simacryl® ETC-211 can be applied with usual coating systems such as: doctor blades, wire-wound rolls, air knifes, reverse roll coatings, reverse gravure coatings, curtain coatings and jet applicators.
It should be noted that in prolonged storage the color of Simacryl® ETC-211 might change but it still exhibits good adhesion retention.
We would suggest adding preservatives to pressure sensitive adhesives formulations containing simacryl® ETC-211 to protect the system from microbial attack.
In order to prevent contamination of pressure sensitive adhesive, sure that the bulk cap, is closed perfectly after each usage and store it above 5 OC.
Simacryl® ETC-211 is a pressure-sensitive acrylic emulsion polymer with high tack and moderate peel adhesion properties.
