Crosslinking polymers

Intercol has several crosslinking polymers, like Polyurethane 1K and 2K systems, 1KD3 wood adhesives, 1K or 2K D4 wood adhesives and crosslinkable, PUR-hotmelt and VAE polymers.

Crosslinked polymers are mostly used where a durable, chemical-, heat, and/or water resistant bonds are required. This is typical for wood constructions outside, but also for insulation purposes and the manufacturing of construction panels or geotextiles.

Crosslinkable VAE polymers are often used for textile, non-woven and carpet applications, like:

• Upholstery fabrics
• Flock adhesives
• Non-slip finishes
• Needle-felt carpets
  • Roller-blind fabrics and vertical blinds
  • Heat-sealable and HFweldable wadding materials

Self crosslinkeable VAE polymers are crosslinkedin in the drying process, at approx 150 degrees Celcius.

Application equipment for crosslinkable adhesives

Crosslinkable application examples can be found in many contineous production techniques. Intercol is experienced in optimizing production processes by developing special adhesive compounds.

• Spraying
• Impregnation
• Foaming
• Roller application
• Screen printing
