Synthomer Adhesives Technologies
Univar Solutions carries sealants, elastomers, packaging, hygiene and high performance tire additives from Synthomer Adhesives Technologies.


Adhesive Technologies develops, manufactures and sells tackifying resins and additives for adhesive products, with a strong focus on attractive end markets such as sealants, elastomers, packaging, hygiene and high performance tire additives.
Choosing the right polymer for hot melt adhesives can be a challenge. When evaluating polymers, the ideal product would enable the optimum blend of good cohesion, processability, low odor, and thermal stability. But finding a polymer that enables a formulation to excel at all of these performance characteristics can be difficult.


Aerafin™ polyolefin polymers are changing that with a next generation polyolefin that enables hot-melt adhesives to be formulated to have a improved mechanical properties, best in class thermal stability, and the ability to spray at lower temperatures while delivering low odor and low VOCs the industry has come to expect from the best olefin-based hot-melt adhesives available.


Synthomer Adhesive Technologies delivers a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance polymers, tackifiers, and additives tailored for a wide range of adhesive applications, including pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), hot-melt adhesives (HMAs), sealants, labels, tapes, packaging, and more. Their solutions are engineered to enhance adhesion, cohesion, and processability across diverse substrates and conditions.
Synthomer’s trusted trade names include:
- Tacolyn™,Foral™, Foralyn™, Kristalex™, Regalite™, Aerafin™, Plastolyn™, Piccolastic™, Piccotex™, and Endex™.
These brands represent a wide array of technologies, from acrylic emulsions and hydrocarbon resins to polyolefin polymers. They are designed to meet evolving performance and regulation standards in the adhesives industry. Learn more below!

Aerafin™, Regalflex™
Synthomer’s APO technologies offer versatile, propylene-based polymers engineered for superior performance in a wide range of tackifiers and elastomers.
- Aerafin™ polymers are next-generation polyolefins known for their excellent thermal stability, low odor, low VOC, and broad compatibility with hydrocarbon tackifiers. They enable low-temperature sprayability and high peel strength, making them ideal for hygiene, packaging, and automotive applications.
- Regalflex™ APOs are soft, tacky, and flexible polymers offering consistent quality, UV stability, and moisture resistance. These resins are compatible with a wide range of elastomers and tackifiers, supporting applications in tapes, labels, construction, and automotive adhesives.
Together, Aerafin™ and Regalflex™ provide formulators with a robust toolkit for designing adhesives that meet stringent performance and sustainability standards.
Kristalex™, Endex™, Plastolyn™, Piccolastic™, Piccotex™
Synthomer’s Pure Monomer Resin (PMR) portfolio features water-white, aromatic hydrocarbon resins derived from purified monomers. These resins are known for their clarity, color stability, and compatibility with a wide range of polymers including EVA, SBS, SIS, SEBS, and acrylics.
- Kristalex™ resins are low molecular weight, non-polar thermoplastic polymers offering excellent thermal stability and impact modification. Ideal for sealants, caulks, and specialty tapes.
- Endex™ resins provide high clarity and are well-suited for applications requiring superior color stability and compatibility with styrenic block copolymers.
- Plastolyn™ resins, such as Plastolyn™ 290, deliver high softening points and UV resistance, making them suitable for demanding applications.
- Piccolastic™ resins are derived from pure styrene monomer and offer toughness, resiliency, and non-migrating properties.
- Piccotex™ resins combine styrene and vinyl to provide excellent adhesion and compatibility in pressure-sensitive adhesives.
These PMRs are widely used in compounding, hot melt adhesives, coatings, sealants, and packaging applications where clarity, performance, and stability are critical.
Synthomer’s Tacolyn™ line of resin dispersions offers high-performance tackifiers designed to enhance adhesion, peel strength, and overall performance in waterborne adhesive systems. These resins are solvent-free, APE-free, and engineered for compatibility with a wide range of polymer emulsions including acrylics, SBR, and natural rubber latexes. Widely used in pressure sensitive and packaging adhesives.
- Tacolyn™ resins are trusted across industries for their ability to deliver consistent performance, environmental compliance, and formulation flexibility in demanding adhesive applications.
