Eastman AQ™ polymers are unique modified polyesters that are inherently dispersible in water with no added treatment. They are all low-color, thermally stable materials that can be applied as hot melt adhesives which can be dispersed in water or can be initially dispersed in water and applied as a re-dissolvable waterborne adhesive.

These properties make Eastman AQ™ polymers ideally suited for applications where adhesive removal after application is required such as re-pulping of paper and plastic and glass recycling. Eastman AQ™ polymers are compatible with some of the commonly used tackifiers and plasticizers used in adhesive compounding in order to make water-dispersible hot melt adhesives.
