When it comes to adhesives that need to perform in cold temperatures, NEVTAC® LT stands out as a game-changing solution. With its unique combination of low glass transition temperature (Tg) and a highly aliphatic composition, this highly aliphatic resin has been specifically designed to tackify the SBC-based pressure sensitive adhesives. NEVTAC® LT is effective at varying concentrations: as a viscosity modifier, it can be used at 4-6%, while at 10-20%, it significantly boosts adhesion strength of tapes and labels at low temperatures.
One of the standout benefits of NEVTAC®LT is its ability to substantially improve low-temperature adhesion. Typically, general-purpose pressure sensitive adhesives show a drastic decrease in performance when exposed to cold, with tack strength dropping from 5.8 lbs at room temperature to 2.7 lbs at 0°C. However, adhesives formulated with NEVTAC® LT exhibit a marked increase in performance at 0°C, with significantly higher tack and bonding strength compared to standard formulations.
To optimize low-temperature adhesion, formulators can replace a portion of the high Tg resin tackifiers in traditional formulations with NEVTAC® LT. This approach results in a formulation that maintains its tackiness and bonding strength even in cold environments, where traditional adhesives would underperform.
NEVTAC® LT from Neville Chemical Company provides an innovative solution for improving the performance of SBC rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesives in cold-temperature applications. By enhancing adhesion, flexibility, and tack at low temperatures, NEVTAC® LT ensures that tapes and labels maintain their effectiveness in harsh, chilly environments. With its light color, low VOCs, and environmental benefits, NEVTAC® LT is a key ingredient for any adhesive formulation designed for cold-weather use.
