Product Focus: AQUALINK CROSSLINKERS
Aqualink products are proprietary formulations based on aqueous dispersions of solid polyisocyanates that have been partially chemically blocked with amines to make them stable in the presence of water. They are typically used in combination with water based polyurethane dispersions in the manufacture of heat activated 1K (one-component) adhesives.
These types of adhesives are used mainly for 3D lamination of furniture foils, production of heat activated tapes and in shoe adhesives.
Aquaspersions offers the following grades:
- AQUALINK D-HT, which is based on amine blocked aliphatic IPDI trimer.
- AQUALINK U, AQUALINK U-HT and AQUALINK 180, all of which are based on amine blocked aromatic TDI dimer.
The advantages of using these Aqualink grades are the relatively low re-activation temperature needed to initiate the crosslinking reaction, typically between 65-70oC. When formulated correctly into a PUD adhesive formulation they provide a storage stable 1K adhesive.
Where resistance to UV discoloration is needed then the use of AQUALINK D-HT is recommended.
