ROBOND™ Prohesion: Performance Unmatched in a Water-Based Adhesive

back

Excellent initial tack and quick peel build

  • Adheres aggressively to a variety of substrate surfaces. It exhibits exceptionally high levels of cohesive strength and resistance - properties critical for specialty tapes and materials.

Shear resistance

  • Extremely robust shear values of more than 100 hours with two kilograms per square inch on stainless steel make this the first and only emulsion PSA to exhibit such impressive values in combination with high adhesion to multiple substrates.

Heat resistance

  • Withstands punishing hot shear tests of one kilogram on stainless steel bonding surfaces at 150 degrees F (62 degrees C) for more than 50 hours – values that exceed even those of some solvent-based choices. No other emulsion PSA has come close to such outstanding heat resistance capabilities while retaining this level of excellent adhesion – a stunning property balance achievement for a water-based acrylic PSA.

Plasticizer migration resistance (PMR)

  • Withstands plasticizer migration superbly, with typical peel retentions topping 50 percent on polymeric vinyls after heat exposure. Graphics and automotive PVC foam tapes are just two of the many applications requiring high PMR.

Moisture resistance

  • Retains more than 80 percent of its peel after prolonged exposure to moisture under severe conditions of 90 percent humidity at 95 degrees F (35 degrees C). This exceptional characteristic - previously an insurmountable limitation for aqueous adhesives - suits medium-performance outdoor graphics installations as well as building and construction applications.

Superior anchorage

  • Exhibits superior anchorage to a variety of substrates ranging from those with high surface energy like stainless steel, to equally challenging low surface energy materials like high-density polyolefin foams.
