Tackifying resins for use in rubber goods.


Akrotak 100 is a light colored [C.sub.5] type resin said to provide superior tackifying action to synthetic and natural rubber applications.

Akrotak 100 resin aids in processing elastomers and plastic products by increasing green tack, rate of incorporation of fillers and pigments, and provides wetting action for fillers. In addition, Akrotak 100 is said to improve rubber-to-metal/fibers bonding. Common applications include hot melt adhesives, and use as a general tackifier and/or softener in NR and synthetic elastomers.

There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene.  hydrocarbon hydrocarbon (hī'drōkär`bən), any organic compound composed solely of the elements hydrogen and carbon.

It aids in processing elastomers by increasing green tack and rate of incorporation of fillers, and improves knitting knitting, construction of a fabric made of interlocking loops of yarn by means of needles. Knitting, allied in origin to weaving and to the netting and knotting of fishnets and snares, was apparently unknown in Europe before the 15th cent. .
