Adhesives:

Quadra offers a wide range of chemical raw materials to the adhesives industry:

• hot melt adhesives
• pressure sensitive adhesives
• water-based emulsions
• animal glues

Our strong position with Chang Chun Petrochemical on Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH) allows us to offer a broad range of fully hydrolyzed and partially hydrolyzed grades for water-borne adhesives. We also offer a full line of acrylic, vinyl acrylic copolymer, wood glue and polyvinylacetate homopolymer and copolymer emulsions products for water-borne adhesive technologies. For demanding performance properties where UV stability, color and clarity are critical performance properties, we offer our Arkon line of fully and partially hydrogenated water-white C9 resins from Arakawa Chemicals. We also offer a range of emulsion-type tackifier dispersions offering excellent adhesion properties to polyolefins with excellent heat resistance and mechanical stability. In addition we have a complete line of aromatic (C9), non-hydrogenated aliphatic (C5) and hydrogenated water-white aliphatic (C5) tackifiying resins for a variety of adhesive formulating technologies. In addition, we offer gum rosin and a wide range of glycerol or pentaerythritol esterified rosin esters. We can present to you our full line of Evernox and Everfos which are primary, secondary and synergistic B blends of antioxidants. These are highly effective antioxidants to prevent the oxidative degradation of polymer materials and maintain colour, physical and mechanical properties.
