February 4, 2008—Rohm and Haas, a specialty materials pioneer committed to expanding the use of environmentally advanced adhesives, has introduced its new high performance, water-based, pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) ROBOND Prohesion.
A groundbreaking alternative to solvent-based PSAs, ROBOND Prohesion is ideal for the precise mounting jobs required in graphic arts applications for both indoor and outdoor signage, according to the company.
For secure, lasting application of graphics materials, as well as general requirements for industrial markets, this alternative to high cost solvent acrylics is a significant new solution, says Rohm and Haas.
The excellent initial tack, quick peel build and cohesive strength of ROBOND Prohesion are advantages for grabbing and holding fast the substantial loads associated with freestanding displays and heavy promotional banners.
The low amount of volatile organic compounds in ROBOND Prohesion also contributes to cost savings, improves worker safety and simplifies handling requirements.
