Pune, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/15/2019 -- Applications and Properties of Amorphous Polyolefin Hot Melts

Amorphous polyolefin are one of the most popular hot melt adhesives. Amorphous polyolefin bond well to nonpolar substrates like polyethylene and polypropylene but are usually not recommended for polar surfaces. They also have good barrier properties, i.e. low moisture and water vapor permeability, and excellent chemical resistance against polar solvents and solutions including acids, bases, esters, and alcohols but only moderate heat resistance and poor chemical resistance against nonpolar solvents like alkanes, ethers, and oils. Amorphous Polyolefin can be formulated with a range of melt viscosities, hardness, softening points, surface tackiness, and open times.

When compared with Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) and polyamide hot melt adhesives, amorphous polyolefin have extended open times for positioning of parts. They also have lower melt viscosity, and slower set times than comparable EVAs. Sometimes amorphous polyolefin can be used without any additives, but often it is compounded with tackifiers, waxes, and plasticizers (mineral oil, poly-butene oil). They are compatible with many nonpolar solvents, and hot mold additives. All amorphous polyolefin have low energies of cohesion and low entanglement weights. The polymer chains are rather flexible which provides good inter-diffusion and entanglement across the interface between the amorphous polyolefin and the low surface energy substrates. Cohesive failure with high peel energies is therefore the typical failure mode of amorphous polyolefin.

Amorphous Polyolefin Market: Introduction

Amorphous Polyolefin are saturated, low molecular weight, propylene-based olefin polymers. Amorphous polyolefin are inherently tacky, soft and flexible, having broad compatibility with numerous polymers, elastomers and tackifying resins. Amorphous polyolefin are commonly used for adhesive applications (especially for the formulation of hot melt adhesives) and mostly suitable for nonpolar substrates, such as polyethylene and polypropylene. However, they are usually not recommended for polar surfaces. They have several beneficial characteristic properties, such as resistance to corrosion and moisture, chemical inertness and resistance to UV rays. Owing to their aforementioned characteristic properties, amorphous polyolefin are also used in the manufacturing of protective coatings. The most common end use application of amorphous polyolefin is the automotive industry, where they are used as adhesives and protective coatings. Another prominent application of amorphous polyolefin is the packaging industry. Amorphous polyolefin are also used as a bitumen modifier as they improve UV stability, offer resistance to high temperatures, induce viscosity control and low temperature flexibility.

Amorphous Polyolefin Market: Market Dynamics

The Amorphous polyolefin segment is expected to witness significant growth in near future owing to its increasing number of applications in various end-use industries. The growth of the automotive industry is expected to provide significant growth opportunities for the growth of the amorphous polyolefin market. Further, increasing investment in construction and infrastructural development across developed as well as developing countries is expected to be another factor paving way for the growth in demand for amorphous polyolefin for various applications, such as bitumen modifier, etc. Growing prominence of the packaging industry across the globe is expected to contribute tow the growth in demand in the amorphous polyolefin market during the forecast period.

Volatility in feedstock prices and fluctuations in supply of raw materials are the two factors that may act as prominent restraints in the amorphous polyolefin market. Amorphous polyolefin manufacturers most often prefer to enter into long -term contracts with the raw material suppliers to overcome the problem associated with the feedstock. Further, blending of amorphous polyolefin with tackifiers, resins and wax will provide lucrative growth opportunities in the amorphous polyolefin market as these improve the hot melt properties and process abilities of amorphous polyolefin.
