I. R. Tubes is a leading supplier for Adhesive Sealant and tackifier resins, both water and solvent-based. Based in Pune, the tackifier resin suppliers ensure that customers are supplied with the right tackifier resin that suits their needs. Tackifier resin for rubber is used extensively in the manufacture of rubber articles, especially in the making of tyres for the automotive industry. They are also used in technical rubber applications such as conveyor belts, V-belts, and hoses.
Natural rubber has the property of tackiness, i.e., an ability to stick, and this stickiness needs to be retained before being vulcanized. While choosing which tackifier resin to use the first criteria to keep in mind is the compatibility between the resin and the polymer under consideration. Since there is a wide diversity of elastomers and tackifiers, a basic understanding of tackifier resin selection criteria and familiarity with the various families of tackifiers is critical. As one of the leading tackifier resin suppliers, I R Tubes combines technical know-how with commercial sensibilities to offer customers the right product.
Features of Tackifier Resin
Tackifier resins rarely used alone, are typically combined with other polymers to produce compounds with the required end-use properties. The first criteria in the selection of a tackifier resin for rubber is the compatibility between the resin and the other polymer(s) under consideration. Stability, viscosity, colour, softening point, and odour are also important criteria that affect adhesive properties.
After compatibility is determined, stability is the next most critical property to consider. Stability determines whether the adhesive can endure through its desired lifetime and can respond favourably to exposure to heat, oxygen, and chemicals. The chemical and process modifications to improve tackifier resin stability also can negatively affect the cost and colour of the product.
The Key Benefits of ADhesive Sealant and Tackifier
Once compatibility and stability have been determined, secondary criteria such as colour, odour, and fluorescence can be considered. In summary, a good tackifier resin for rubber should ensure:
- Better tack retention
- Better heat and humidity performance
- Acts as a processing aid during mixing and does not interfere with the final properties of the finished goods.
As tackifier resin suppliers, we provide tackifier resins in various physical forms to meet specific requirements – Solids, and Liquid form.
Our partners often require these specialty chemicals in widely differing quantities, ranging from grams to multi-tonnes, and it is crucial to their success that they can rely on us to deliver these products as and when they need them. At I R Tubes we continually work with our customers to ensure new products are available to meet their needs.
As with all our chemicals, the ones we provide to the Adhesive & Sealants industry comply with the European Union’s REACH legislation. I. R. Tubes provide documentation in support of compliance at the ingredient level.
