Adhesive has environmentally advanced
formulation
Water-based acrylic adhesive offers bonding alternative for pressure sensitive adhesive tapes in automobile interior applications.
Rohm and Haas has released a water-based acrylic adhesive, Robond Prohesion, used as a bonding alternative for pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes for automobile interior applications like door panels, interior pillars, instrument panels and ductwork "Customers who remember traditional aqueous limitations may wonder if a water-borne adhesive really can handle car interior applications", says Chris Urheim, Rohm and Haas North American Region Market Manager, Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

Machined springs overcome wound limitations
For those engineers familiar with the traditional wound spring format, Abssac is offering a new way of looking at reliability, performance and attachment by use of a machined spring.
"We confidently say, 'yes, it really can'".
Pilot tests indicate that Robond Prohesion withstands hot shear tests at 62C for more than 50 hours, exceeding the values of some solvent-based choices.
In addition, the product retains more than 80% of its peel after prolonged exposure to moisture under severe conditions of 90% humidity at 35C.
Robond Prohesion offers an environmentally advanced formulation that also holds up to performance demands of car makers who are asking suppliers to lower volatile organic compounds in their products.
The bonding agent adheres aggressively and exhibits superior anchorage to substrates ranging from those with high surface energy like stainless steel to equally challenging low surface energy materials like high-density polyolefin foams.
