Adhesive Application FAQs
Which SEKISUI product is best for standard wood and paper adhesive applications?
Selvol PVOH is the trusted standard for wood glues, spiral-wound tubes, book bindings and packaging applications. It delivers exceptional tensile strength and consistent adhesion to hydrophilic substrates.
Speak with our Technical Service Team for tailored grade selection guidance.
My application involves difficult-to-bond substrates. Can SEKISUI’s product portfolio address that?
Yes. We engineer Selvol Ultiloc copolymers specifically for difficult substrates, providing enhanced reactivity and greater crosslinking compared to standard PVOH grades. Ultiloc is a patented, SEKISUI-exclusive series; you won’t find this copolymer technology elsewhere. Its grades are well suited for complex adhesion challenges where conventional PVOH falls short.
What SEKISUI products are appropriate for personal care adhesives, such as eyelash glues and pore strips?
The Selvol Ultalux line is designed for personal care adhesive applications. Its high-purity formulation provides safe, effective performance in cosmetic prosthetic adhesives, eyelash glues and pore strips. Independent third-party testing confirms its skin safety profile.
Are there SEKISUI products suited for household and industrial adhesive use?
S-LEC B/K polyvinyl acetal resins offer exceptional adhesion across a range of household and industrial uses. They complement Selvol PVOH and Ultiloc copolymers to cover the full spectrum of adhesive application requirements.
How do I determine which PVOH grade is right for my adhesive formulation?
Grade selection depends on your substrate type, required bond strength and whether the application is porous or difficult-to-bond. The Technical Service Team offers one-on-one formulation and grade selection advice. You can also request samples to evaluate performance in your process.
