AdhesivesVersatile polymers for adhesive formulations

Specialty Latexes from Dow Reichhold Specialty Latex LLC offer the adhesive formulator a range of properties useful across a variety of adhesive types. Formulations requiring ignition resistance, UV resistance, or water resistance can all be enhanced with the right latex. Typical applications for Specialty Latexes include adhesives for foil-scrim-kraft constructions, general purpose laminating adhesives for packaging, and in formulations for HVAC uses.

The products listed in this table can serve as the principal adhesive latex in a formulation, or as a tackifier. In addition, the line includes two highly efficient thickeners. If you’d like to have us review your specific needs to determine what type of Specialty Latex will do the best job for you, please use our Contact Us form.

Note: Table below is alphabetized according to polymer type.
