Global Water Based Adhesive Market Trends, Applications, Analysis, Growth, And Forecast To 2028

Water-based adhesive is manufacture either from natural polymers that are derived from vegetable sources, animal, and protein sources or from the soluble synthetic polymers including methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and cellulose ethers. Water plays important role as a carrier fluid to control viscosity of the adhesive particles used for different substrates at diverse thicknesses.

In addition, recyclable water-based adhesive majorly used by CleanFlake adhesive technology. Adhesive is manufacture to stick to thermoformed package or a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle until its lifecycle while and separate cleanly during recycling procedure. Water-based adhesives are available in pre-mixed solution or dry powder form.

Water borne adhesives are extensively utilized in various end-use industries such as board, packaging, paper, automotive, electronics and electrical, building & construction, transportation, healthcare, and woodworking and joinery. Paper, packaging, and board industry hold major market share.

Water-based adhesives offer various properties such as high solid content, good initial adhesion, eco-friendly nature, and low-toxicity, and are highly utilized in the packaging industry for the labeling applications, flexible laminations, packaging tapes, and food and beverage packaging.
