Ionomers are polymerized through copolymerisation of a nonpolar with a polar monomer. The polar linkage push back crystallization and cause a ionic cross linking.

Our special adhesive powders based on Ionomers provide particularly following properties:

  • resistance against acids, bases, fats, oils and solvents
  • no electric conductivity


ROWALIT® Ionomer is successfully used in the automotive industry.
