Before choosing filter end cap potting compounds, it’s important to consider the following:
♦ Viscosity
♦ Adhesion strength
♦ Durability
♦ Application method needed
However, price is another critical factor not to be overlooked.
Typically, epoxy-based or two-component adhesives are used. While they offer significant strength, these products are often over-engineered for potting applications.
Additionally, epoxies and two-component adhesives for potting compounds:
♦ Require a great deal of process time
♦ Often need specialized equipment
♦ Offer a level of strength not needed for filters
♦ Are not recyclable/cannot be reused
♦ Are a costly option
This causes companies to spend unnecessary time and money on production.
Polyolefins: The Smarter Option
To address these issues, we have developed polyolefin adhesives as an alternative. These adhesives are:
♦ Lower cost
♦ More process-friendly
♦ Fully recyclable when applied to polypropylene/polyethylene-based substrates
♦ Have no environmental issues
♦ Have a significantly faster set time
♦ Commonly certified for indirect food contact
As a result, switching from epoxies and two-component adhesives to polyolefins for potting compounds can significantly improve companies’ operational efficiencies, saving them both time and money.
