SYSTEMS BASED ON SOLVENT OR WATER LOSS
<emphasis role="italic"><emphasis role="bold">INTRODUCTION</emphasis></emphasis> Solvent solutions and water-based latexes and dispersions harden by the evaporation of their carrier material—either solvent or water. The carrier material is simply to lower the viscosity of the adhesive so that it can be easily applied to the substrate and wet the surface. For adhesives or sealants that are formulated with polymers that are already polymerized, this is a simple and efficient way of reducing viscosity. Once the adhesive or seala…
