Dispersion glue is a type of glue that is liquid at room temperature. A dispersion are solid particles floating in a fluid, mostly water. In waterbased adhesives we can have these following phases:
- solutions
- emulsions
- colloids
- dispersions
A pure dispesion can be a D3 waterresistant Wood adhesive.
Advantages of dispersion adhesives
Dispersion adhesives offer many advantages
- Relatively quick drying in relation to solutions like starch
- Waterbased, solvent free; Environmental friendly
- Repulpable, water solluable, and some grades are biodegradeable
- Wide adhesion range; also to plastics like PET/PE/PP
- Very efficient running on high speed processes
- Low environmental impact
- Cost effective
Blending with other adhesive products
At Intercol, we have developed many different products and blends of dispersions to create unique products in the market for coatings, binders, construction materials, adhesives and chemicals. Allthough not all products will be fully compatible, we are experienced with a large range of emulsifiers to blend dispersions succesfully with other additives, like:
- Polyvinylalcohol
- Adhesion promotors
- Crosslinking agents
- Starch
- Casein
- Colloids
- Solutions
- Emulsions
- Flame retardancy products
- Acrylates
- PVAC, PVOH, EVOH
- Wetting agents
- Defoamers
- Solids, fillers
- etc.
