Demand for adhesives for general assembly is on the rise due to easy application and improved productivity in the assembly process. Weighing less than mechanical fasteners, adhesives offer better distribution of stress over a wide area, thus producing a better bond with a smooth surface. Eastman recommends the following products with a wide range of performance characteristics for assembly applications.

Physical properties comparison

Product Group	Product Brands	Benefits	Compare
Amorphous Polyolefin	Eastoflex	Recommended as base resins in a variety of applications reqring low odor APOs
Hydrocarbon Resin	Picco	Recommended when excellent acid and moisture resistance combined with outstanding pigment wetting is vital
Hydrocarbon Resin	Piccotac	Used in applications where compatibility with natural and synthetic rubbers is critical
Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin	Eastotac	Suggested for applications where excellent color stability and low odor are critical
Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin	Regalite	Used to achieve an optimal balance of mid-block and end-block compatibility in styrenic block copolymer formulations
Pure Monomer Resin	Endex	Especially suited for use as modifiers for the end-blocks of styrenic block copolymers
Pure Monomer Resin	Kristalex	Made from pure monomers so they are water-white in color and extremely stable against thermal and oxidative degradation
Resin Dispersion	Tacolyn	Recommended for environmentally friendly applications, especially when seeking improved adhesion to polyolefin-based substrates
Rosin Resin	Abalyn	Recommended when tacky, high viscous resins with a wide range of compatibility with most polymers are needed
	Cellolyn	Recommended when a high degree of tack without excessive decrease in bond strength is desired
	Dymerex	Recommended to improve adhesion with less cohesion loss
	Foralyn	Impart superior adhesion and excellent cohesion to adhesives based on styrenic block copolymers and acrylic polymers, especially at higher temperatures
	Metalyn	Recommended when excellent compatibility is required
	Permalyn	Excellent choice when gloss is important in hot melt applications
	Staybelite-E	Recommended when a combination of oxidation resistance, tack retention and good color stability is required
