1.Change traditional concepts and enhance environmental awareness
Environmental protection is the key to ensuring sustainable economic development and healthy human survival. The adhesive industry has a major responsibility for its impact on the environment, and it is wise to take strong action early. First of all, it is necessary to change the traditional concept, not only for the immediate local interests, but ignoring the damage to the ecological environment; not only for temporary economic benefits, but at the expense of the environment, the adhesive industry should pay more attention to the society while pursuing economic benefits. benefits and environmental benefits, and make new contributions to environmental protection.
2.Develop environmentally friendly adhesives
In order to avoid environmental pollution and ecological damage, it is imperative to develop low-polluting or non-polluting environmentally friendly adhesives. The so-called environmentally friendly green adhesive refers to the adhesive that is non-polluting to the environment, non-toxic to the human body, and meets the three requirements of "environmental protection, health and safety".
In order to meet the needs of society and environmental protection, the varieties of adhesives should be updated at an accelerated pace to create environmentally friendly green adhesives. At present, our main task is to accelerate the promotion of water-based, hot-melt, solvent-free, UV-curable, high-density adhesives. Green products such as solid content type and biodegradable type, limit the use of harmful solvents and additives。
1)water-based
The water-based adhesive is to use water as a solvent or dispersion medium to make a water-based adhesive. Since no organic solvent is used, solvent pollution is eliminated.。
Emulsion type acrylate pressure sensitive adhesive can replace solvent type pressure sensitive adhesive。
Water-based laminating adhesive has begun to replace solvent-based laminating adhesive, non-toxic, non-flammable, pollution-free, and safe to use。
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aqueous solution is mixed with isocyanate or prepolymer to make vinyl polyurethane emulsion, which can replace urea-formaldehyde glue and completely solve the problem of formaldehyde release。
Water-based adhesives are favored because they are non-toxic and non-polluting, but their shortcomings are slow drying, poor water resistance, and poor freeze resistance. The solid part should be increased, the drying speed should be accelerated, and the cross-linking method should be adopted to improve the drying speed and water resistance to expand its application。
2)No solvation
3)solidify
The solidification of the adhesive is used in solid form, such as hot melt adhesive, hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive, water-soluble powder adhesive, reactive stick adhesive, office solid glue stick, etc., there is no volatilization during the coating and bonding process There is no environmental pollution at all. Foreign countries respect the use of powdered glue, which has the advantages of stable performance and no environmental pollution.。
4)low toxicity
Solvent-based adhesives have fast drying speed and good water resistance. Although they are highly polluted and toxic, they cannot be completely replaced by water-based adhesives at present. Low-toxic or non-toxic solvents can be used, such as cyclohexane, ethyl acetate, butanone , 1,1-dichloroethane, dimethyl carbonate, etc., to make non-toxic or low-toxic solvent-based adhesives.
