Acid absorbers/acceptors appear as white powders or pellets that blend discretely into adhesive formulations. Key features include high acid-scavenging capacity, minimal impact on cure chemistry, and long-term protection effects. Acid absorbers prove valuable in acid-sensitive substrates or components, making them essential for electronics potting, automotive assembly, and long-term preservation applications.
Common types include metal oxides, hydrotalcites, specialized zeolites, and reactive acid scavengers. Recent innovations focus on multifunctional absorbers that combine acid neutralization with additional benefits like moisture control or thermal stabilization addressing multiple degradation mechanisms.
