As a leading global polymer manufacturer, Kuraray has applied its unique expertise to develop elastomers that offer excellent solutions for a wide range of adhesive, sealant and coating applications. As an industry-recognized expert in the field of multiple polymers including acrylic block co-polymers, polyols, diols, and PVOH, Kuraray has specifically engineered its products to be easy to process and to optimally meet the specific requirements of each application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The polymers manufactured by Kuraray have a good balance of tack, peel, shear performance and low melt viscosity. They also offer superior adhesion to a variety of substrates and surface textures. Temperature flexibility combined with high heat resistance are further plus points. They are miscible with a wide range of polymers to create excellent adhesives, coatings or sealants. Typical applications include tape and label adhesives, reactive adhesives, industrial and construction adhesives, \u201cnoise, vibration and harshness\u201d (NVH) adhesives and sealants, as well as automotive adhesives and sealants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tapes and labels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kuraray products offer tape and label manufacturers a wide range of formulation options. In addition to their outstanding adhesion, they meet even the most challenging requirements of adhesive tape and label applications. Thanks to their strong tack properties, Kuraray\u2019s polymers ensure reliable adhesion even on poorly bondable substrates and at high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protective films<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kuraray has developed a materials technology that can be used in custom protective films. The core chemistry is based on styrenic-block copolymers and is marketed under the brand name SEPTON\u2122& HYBRAR\u2122. The use of these products in protective films allows design flexibility in customizing tack adhesion, excellent adhesion to both polar and non-polar surfaces, and residue-free removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
