High-Performance Tackifier
Phenolic tackifier resins, based on alkyl phenol novolacs, have a good compatibility to rubber due to the long alkyl chain.
Bakelite Synthetics has developed the high performance phenolic tackifier resin, Bakelite® PF 6204 K, that provides both high initial rubber tack but also a high long-term tack. In addition, there is no loss of adhesive strength when the mix is stored over a lengthy period. There are no side effects on vulcanization. The resin acts as a mild plasticizer, thus promoting distribution of the filler.
