Acronal A 245 is an aqueous dispersion of an acrylate copolymer containing carboxyl groups. It is used in the manufacture of self-adhesive labels- films and tapes. As it is hardly affected by plasticizers- it is particularly recommended for coating plasticized PVC film. However- since the effect of plasticizers on pressure-sensitive adhesives depends on the type of quantity of the plasticizers in the film- thorough trials- particularly storage trials- must be carried out before starting production of such articles.
