VESTOPLAST® - APAO
VESTOPLAST® grades are amorphous poly-alpha-olefins produced with three monomers - ethylene, propylene and butene-1.
It is mainly used as a raw material for hot melt adhesives that are applied within several industries like hygiene, automotive, packaging and woodworking.
All VESTOPLAST® grades are produced to specifi cation in a continuous Ziegler low-pressure polymerization process.
Based on the special process,they have excellent properties,mainly reflected in hardness,cohesion, melt viscosity, crystallinity, crystallization rate and lower density about 0.86g/cm3.

A special grade for special applications
VESTOPLAST® 206 is a reactive adhesive raw material based on a silane grafted polymer which is moisture curing and has a unique amorphous poly-alpha-olefin backbone structure. It is characterized by its excellent adhesion to a very wide range of plastics (e.g. polypropylene, polyester and polyamide), to wood and ‘hard-to-adhere-to’ polar substrates like glass, ceramics and metals.
Product characteristics
Improving cohesion bonding by cross-linking molecular chains
Improving adhesion to the substrate through cross-linking with a surface-active substrate, such as the surface of glass
