Akron Coating and Adhesives

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-30-101 is waterborne dispersions of heat activated adhesives formulated to be used with a variety of grades of TPO/TPE materials. ACA 30-101 is for the softer grades of TPO/TPE, and has the lowest melting point.

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-10-100 is a water based matte black coating which exhibits heat resistance to over 500°F without smoking, blistering, or the loss of adhesion or flexibility. The black coating is intended for application to 1 or 2 mil soft aluminum foil where intense infrared heat from Klieg lights or space heaters is encountered. Further, the coating is a potential candidate for other high temperature applications. It is advisable to test for suitability for the specific application. A curing agent must be stirred into the coating immediately prior to coating. The pot life is about 3 days. Viscosity reduction may be accomplished by the careful addition of water.

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-10-110 coating is a hydroscopic material that may be applied to aluminum foil. The coating may also absorb and transfer other small molecules similar to water such as aldehydes, alcohols, ketones or amines away from the working atmosphere. ACA 10-110 primarily uses water dispersions with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol in the mix to serve as a coalescing agent. The isopropyl alcohol (boiling point 82°C) evaporates in the oven with the water and is not present in the dry, coated film.

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-20-527 is a waterborne pressure sensitive adhesive. This pressure sensitive adhesive is very high in solids to facilitate rapid drying during the application process. The dry adhesive exhibits high sheer resistance, resistance to high temperatures and sufficient tack to facilitate rapid assembly.

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-30-016 is a heat activated latent cure waterborne adhesive. The adhesive will work with plastic over-molding or extrusion onto the metal. Pre-heating metal components to 200°F may be necessary in injection molding applications. The adhesive is unique in that it has a latent cure mechanism that cures the adhesive during heat activation providing salt-water and solvent resistance.

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-20-649 is a pressure sensitive adhesive composed primarily of synthetic polymers and avoids natural rubber latex. The polymer is crosslinked to enhance chemical and heat resistance. Heat and perspiration do not affect its high tack and shear resistance. A 1 mil dry adhesive film is recommended as a starting point for testing. Rough topography such as fabrics may require greater adhesive thickness.

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-20-136 is a Pressure sensitive adhesive formulated for skin contact. Typically used with plastic bandages. Not for direct wound contact.

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-30-100 is a waterborne blend of epoxy and polyurethane resins containing adhesion promoters. The system contains no crosslinkers when shipped. A crosslinker may be added to further enhance hot strength and solvent resistance, after which the product will have a 3 day pot life. Contact ACA regarding use of the crosslinker.

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-10-102 is a waterborne, semi-gloss, black, chemically-resistant coating. A cross-linking agent must be added prior to this coating in order to achieve the desired chemical resistance. The pot life after cross-linker addition is three days. The base polymer for this application is an acrylate block copolymer. Cross-linking is via pendant carboxyl groups, which also enhances the metal adhesion.
