LATEX BASED RUBBER ADHESIVES
WITH PROCESS AND FORMULAE
[CODE NO3117]
Latex based adhesives are of special importance for cementing porous surfaces
due to their ability to wet such surfaces. On the other angle the porosity
allows the latex adhesive to dry out thus producing a strong coherent film.
Sodium silicate, glue, albumen gums and starch etc. are compatible with natural
latex and exert a stabilizing action. The latex rubber in the adhesive film
imparts flexibility and strength and protects and bond against dynamic fatigue.
Latex based adhesives contain a rubber latex, adhesion modifiers, plasticizers,
curatives, fillers such as whiting and kaolin, thickness e.g. cellulose
derivatives and other additives e.g. antioxidants, surfactants antifoams (Octyl
alcohol, silicons), antifreeze, stabilizers corrosion inhibitor colourants,
deodorants and reodorants etc.
Shoe industry, both or leather and rubber based types, utilities quite a good
amount of adhesives, large number of which are based on animal glues,
now-a-days various thermoplastic materials other than those based on animal
glues are in use, e.g. adhesives based on PVC, polyvinyl butyl, rubber natural
and synthetic, methyl cellulose and celluloid etc. Water resistant casein glues
are also employed for this purpose.
The rubber solution which are manufactured by synthetic rubber are called as
"synthetic rubber adhesives". It is an important item for shoes and rubber
industries in the joining of two layers or more than two rubber layers of shoe
layers or shoe parts and soles. The rubber solutions have some public uses
also, such as, in cycle puncture and heavy vehicle puncture fixing.
Rubber cement is a solution of unvulcanized (gum) rubber in a solvent, and is
used as an adhesive. Ideally, it is meant to join two pieces of rubber
together, which involves a chemical cohesion process. When joining two pieces
of rubber, only one surface has to be coated with rubber cement since they are
the same material. However, when joining paper together, both pieces need to be
covered with rubber cement. When rubber cement dries, only the parts in contact
with the paper remain, which holds the two pieces together. Despite this
limitation, the household type of rubber cement finds wide use for applications
such as mounting photographs. Unlike with white glue, the joined pieces of
paper can be pulled apart without damaging either piece.
Adhesives are made from either natural animal or plant products or synthetic
polymer. Natural adhesives are easy to apply and in general are water soluble.
Synthetic adhesives are divided into four chemical categories: thermoplastic,
thermosetting, elastomeric, and combinations thereof. Thermoplastic adhesives,
such as polyvinyl alcohol and acrylics, can be resoftened since the materials
do not crosslink upon curing. They require heat or a solvent to create a bond.
Thermosetting adhesives, which include epoxies, cannot be heated and resoftened
after curing because they do crosslink upon curing. Elastomeric adhesives are
based on isoprene rubber or synthetic polymers that combine both elasticity and
toughness. Silicone is a typical example.
