Amorphous Polyalphaolefin Market - Demand for APAO Primarily Driven by Robust Growth of Hot Melt Adhesives in the Packaging and Converting Industry
Amorphous polyalphaolefin (APAO) for hot melt (homopolymers and copolymers) adhesives are one of the recently introduced raw materials commonly used in the production of adhesives. APAO hot melt adhesives are primarily employed in personal hygiene products, woodworking, paper and packaging, product assembly, and many others. Until the 19th century, APAO was obtained as a byproduct of a mixture of isotactic polypropylene iPP. After the introduction of the Z-N catalyst, commercial production of amorphous polyalphaolefin started taking place by polymerization of...
