Ashland’s crosslinkers, curing agents, and polymers are used to enhance the end use performance of a variety of products by imparting properties such as water resistance, adhesion, strength, durability, flexibility, charge control, and high temperature stability.  Products benefiting from these chemistries include specialty papers, pigment dispersions, inks, coatings, latex gloves, photo-resist coatings for circuit boards, and bottle label adhesives.

Thermoset crosslinking resins that promote water resistance in water soluble/sensitive systems and polymers that impart toughness to formulations and improve adhesion to low surface energy substrates are also available.
