The solid content of adhesives is an important parameter for the possibilities for your products and production. The solid content influences drying time, moisture effects on your paper and substrates and mostly of less importance: shrinking.
Solid content describes how much water you can expect in your waterbased adhesive.Most typical adhesives have a solid content around 50%. Starch based adhesives mostly have a solid content of 5-20% and some synthetical products up top 80 or 90%. Dextrine based adhesives can be around 70% solid content. Animal-glue (gelatin, protein adhesive) mostly has a solid content of 60-70%. These adhesives have an application temperature of ca. 70 degrees celcius.
At Intercol we are able to design an adhesive to your specific requirements, based on your production process, we can adapt several parameters of our adhesive, such as:
-solid content
-viscosity
-drying time (setting time).
-open time
-compressing time (pressure time)
-refraction
-rheology
-PH
-density
-elasticity
-tack (wet tack)
-water resistancy
-heat resistancy
-shear
-peel
-SAFT
Solid content of adhesives may be relevant to:
