Market Overview

The adhesives and sealants market demands binders that balance tack, peel strength, and cohesion without compromising on safety or VOC compliance. Water-based acrylic emulsions have become the technology of choice for most industrial adhesive applications, offering superior environmental profiles, good substrate compatibility, and formulation flexibility.

JCT offers a range of acrylic emulsions and functional additives specifically optimised for adhesive and sealant applications, covering everything from aggressive permanent PSA tapes to repositionable labels and high-strength laminating adhesives.

Application Areas

Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives

PSA tapes, labels, protective films, and medical dressings. Requires optimised Tg for tack/peel/cohesion balance and compatibility with release liners.

Recommended: JCT-A100 (low Tg acrylic)

Laminating Adhesives

Flexible packaging laminates, foil bonding, paper-to-film lamination. Requires high cohesion, heat resistance, and compatibility with printing inks.

Recommended: JCT-A200, JCT-XL400

Construction & Assembly

Flooring adhesives, panel bonding, glazing sealants. Requires gap-filling, elastic recovery, and performance in humid environments.

Recommended: JCT-SA330, JCT-VA500

Recommended Products

Acrylic Emulsion Resins

Soft acrylic grades (Tg −10°C to +10°C) optimised for PSA tack and peel. Hard grades for structural and laminating applications.
