High-Purity Solvents for Modern Adhesive Systems

High-Purity Solvents for Modern Adhesive Systems
Low Odor · Ultra-Low Aromatics · High Performance

Meeting the Demands of Next-Generation Adhesive Formulations
As the adhesive industry evolves with the increasing demand for cleaner, safer, and more efficient solutions, the role of high-purity solvents has become critical. Manufacturers of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), polyurethane adhesives, hot-melt adhesives, and other specialty formulations now prioritize solvents that offer low odor, ultra-low aromatic content, and exceptional compatibility with various resin systems.

Why Solvent Purity Matters in Adhesives
In advanced adhesive production, solvent quality can directly impact:

• Viscosity control

• Open time and drying rate

• Bonding strength

• Surface tension regulation

• Substrate compatibility

Low-purity solvents, especially those with high aromatic content or residual sulfur, often interfere with adhesive clarity, performance, and shelf-life. Our ultra-refined aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents (e.g., IP Solvent Series, Eco Solvent D60, and Isoparaffinic Blends) are engineered to meet the stringent needs of global adhesive manufacturers.

Core Advantages of Our Solvent Systems for Adhesives

✅ Ultra-Low Aromatics (<0.001%)
✅ Extremely Low Odor Profile – improves factory and end-user experience
✅ Narrow Boiling Range – ensures consistency in evaporation rate
✅ Excellent Resin Solvency – ideal for acrylics, epoxies, urethanes, and silicones
✅ High Flash Point – safer storage and transport
✅ Non-toxic & REACH/ROHS/TSCA compliant

Key Applications in Adhesive Manufacturing

• Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs)
  Solvent types like isoparaffinic hydrocarbons are used to modify tack, peel strength, and application fluidity.

• Water-Based Acrylic Adhesives (Solvent-Aid Systems)
  Used in co-solvent systems to enhance flow and reduce foaming.

• Silicone Adhesives
  Require ultra-stable, non-reactive solvents like high-purity isoparaffins for thinning and transfer.

• Urethane & Epoxy Systems
  Benefit from controlled evaporation and strong resin interaction without yellowing or interference.

Eco-Driven Innovation: Solvents Built for Compliance and Sustainability
With increasing environmental regulations, our solvents are:

• REACH-compliant (EU)

• TSCA-listed (US)

• Free of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)

• Readily biodegradable options available

This makes them suitable for green adhesive solutions, especially in automotive, electronics, packaging, and textile lamination industries.
