219 Tackifiers

Tackifiers are low-molecular-weight compounds (oligomers) that are added to adhesive formulations to improve tack and peel adhesion.

In the 1960s, Dahlquist first modified the viscoelastic properties of an elastomer by adding resins and demonstrated that the performance of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) was related to the creep compliance. Later, Aubrey and Sherriff demonstrated that a relationship between peel strength and viscoelasticity in natural rubber–low molecular resin blends existed. Class and Chu used the dynamic mechanical measurements to investigate rubber/resin blends. Their work emphasized the role of tackifier resin molecular weight (in addition to the solubility parameter) ...
