Predicting Ingredient Compatibility Using HSP in Adhesive Formulations

When an adhesive needs a new solvent blend, or you have to find ways that the components in an adhesive can be optimized to be 'happy' together, or you need to find how to match the properties of the adhesive to those of a substrate, what should the adhesives formulator do?

To approach these issues from a science-based formulation method, we can use a powerful solubility and compatibility technique that uses Hansen Solubility Parameters. Via HSP values for all our components we can rapidly identify which components like, or don't like to be with each other.

Learn from Professor Steven Abbott what Hansen Solubility Parameters are and how they should become a go-to tool for science-based formulation.
