Adhesives for paper and board, packaging and disposable sanitary products - Determination of dispersability
This European Standard specifies a method for the determining the dispersability of dry adhesive in a dispersing medium. The test can be applied to all types of adhesives covered by this series of standards and include soluble, dispersion and hot melt systems. The test is intended primarily as a comparative test for investigating the dispersability performance of different adhesives and should not be used to provide accurate data regarding the water resistance of the adhesives in their finished bonded state.
Klebstoffe für Papier, Verpackung und Hygieneprodukte - Bestimmung der Dispergierbarkeit
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Dispergierbarkeit von trockenen Klebstoffen in einem Dispergiermedium fest. Diese Prüfung ist auf alle Klebstoffarten anwendbar, die von dieser Normenreihe behandelt werden und schließt lösliche, Dispersions- und Schmelzklebstoffsysteme ein. Die Pru fung ist in erster Linie für Vergleichsprüfungen zur Erfassung des Dispergierverhaltens unterschiedlicher Klebstoffe bestimmt und soll nicht genaue Daten zur Wasserbeständigkeit von Klebstoffen in der fertigen Klebung liefern.
Adhésifs pour papier et carton, emballages et produits sanitaires consommables - Détermination de l'aptitude à la dispersion
La présente norme européenne spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer l'aptitude à la dispersion d'adhésifs secs dans un milieu dispersif. L'essai peut être appliqué à tous les types d'adhésifs traités par cette série de normes, y compris aux produits solubles, de dispersion et thermofusibles. Le but principal de cet essai est de comparer la capacité de dispersion des différents adhésifs. Il convient de ne pas le considérer comme un moyen permettant d'obtenir des données précises sur la résistance à l'eau des adhésifs collés, dans leur état final.

Overview
EN 1720:1998 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies a standardized method for determining the dispersability of dry adhesives used in paper and board, packaging, and disposable sanitary products. This test method applies broadly to various adhesive types including soluble adhesives, dispersions, and hot melt systems. The primary purpose is to serve as a comparative tool for evaluating how effectively an adhesive disperses in a given dispersing medium. It is important to note that this standard is not intended to measure the water resistance of adhesives in their finished bonded state, but rather to assess their dispersability performance for quality control and product development.
Key Topics
Scope of Dispersability Testing
EN 1720:1998 covers all adhesives commonly used in paper, board, packaging, and disposable sanitary products, facilitating consistency in adhesive evaluation across the industry.Types of Adhesives Covered
- Soluble Adhesives
- Dispersion Adhesives
- Hot Melt Adhesives
Testing Methodology
The standard defines a uniform procedure to determine how dry adhesive powders disperse in a dispersing medium, enabling reliable comparative results.Comparative Test Purpose
The method provides valuable insights for manufacturers and researchers when comparing dispersability characteristics of different adhesive formulations.Limitations
EN 1720:1998 is not designed to provide definitive data on the adhesives’ water resistance after curing or bonding, distinguishing its focus from other adhesive performance tests.
Applications
Quality Control in Adhesive Manufacturing
Ensures product consistency by comparing batch-to-batch dispersability, which can influence processing and end-use performance.Product Development and Formulation
Enables development teams to evaluate new adhesive formulations for optimal dispersability characteristics, aiding in the improvement of application and processing efficiency.Packaging Industry
Used for adhesives in packaging materials to verify that adhesives meet required dispersability standards, which impacts processing and recyclability.Disposable Sanitary Products
Helps manufacturers verify adhesive performance related to dispersal during manufacturing and waste processing.Paper and Board Processing
Supports adhesive selection and application parameter optimization by assessing how adhesives behave in dispersing mediums.
