Overview
Eastman AQ™ 1950 is a semisolid branched sulfopolyester resin with a molecular weight between 20 and 30 kDa, commonly used as an ingredient in repulpable hot-melt adhesive formulations. AQ™ 1950 is easily dispersed in water at moderate temperature without the aid of emulsifiers or cosolvents. Unlike polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and other water-soluble polymers, AQ™ polymers spontaneously form small anionic aggregates when added to water that remain suspended via electrostatic repulsion without the need for surfactants, dispersants, or other additives.
It has a Tg of 3°C and provides outstanding flexibility and tack when formed into a film. As AQ™ 1950 remains readily dispersible in water, hot-melt adhesives made with this polymer facilitate easier repulpability.
