Acrodur Formaldehyde-free Acrylic Binders
Acrodur products are high-performance water-based binders for natural, synthetic and glass fiber nonwovens and replace traditional formaldehyde-containing or solvent-based resins such as melamine, urea and phenol formaldehyde to enable safe, simple and ecological handling. Acrodur technology allows manufacturers to supply low-VOC emitting products, supports indoor air quality (IAQ), and helps reduce plant emissions. The only byproduct of curing is water.
Acrodur acrylic binders offer excellent strength, flexibility and versatility for industrial nonwoven applications, helping to produce environmentally advanced products with optimal quality and performance.
