WE ALSO HAVE MANY OTHER GRIPPING IDEAS TO HELP YOU IMPROVE THE BALANCE OF PROPERTIES IN HOT MELT PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVES. You can easily eliminate the face stock pene tration that turns pressure sensitive labels old before their time. And you'll also cut costs by eliminating any need for a barrier coating. Just blend a small quantity of the right A-C® Polyethylene into your adhesive, and you'll prevent migration of low molecular weight tackif iers and process oils. A-C homopolymers and copolymers can also help you improve tack, shear, legginess adhesion to a variety of substrates, low-
temperature performance—all because they enable you to use higher levels of low molecular weight formulating ingredients without encountering gumming problems such as poor slitting, guillotining, or die cutting. Let our "Industry Team" of specialists help improve your hot melt.
