ACRODUR® formaldehyde-free acrylic binders

ACRODUR high-performance, water-based acrylic binders help to replace traditional formaldehyde-containing or solvent-based resins such as melamine, urea and phenol formaldehyde in natural, synthetic and glass fiber nonwovens, enabling safer, simpler and more ecological handling. ACRODUR technology allows manufacturers to supply low-VOC emitting products, supports indoor air quality (IAQ) and helps reduce plant emissions.

ACRODUR thermosetting binders offer excellent strength, flexibility and versatility for nonwoven applications, helping to produce environmentally advanced products with optimal quality and performance.
