Tex Year 212 Acrylic Water-Based Adhesive: A Top Choice for Building Insulation Films
Jun 11, 2025 Global warming has severely threatened the sustainability of our planet. Energy conservation is no longer just a slogan—it must be implemented in our daily lives, including how we eat, dress, live, and commute. In terms of "living," many Western countries have raised their building energy-efficiency standards, and the application of thermal insulation materials in building structures (such as roofs and walls) has grown rapidly.
Multi-layer insulation materials made by laminating aluminum foil with polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) films have demonstrated excellent performance in blocking radiant heat, convection, and heat exchange. The key to the performance of these composite materials lies in the bonding stability and durability between the layers.
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the advantages of Acrylic water-based adhesive (Emulsion Acrylic Adhesive) in architectural insulation films and explains why TEXYEAR 212 series is the preferred adhesive for such applications.

Typical roof or wall insulation film structure:
Aluminum foil + water-based acrylic adhesive / PE or PP woven fabric + fiberglass cloth or microporous thermal insulation layer + optional aluminum foil
• Aluminum foil: Provides high reflectivity, effectively blocks infrared radiation.
• PE or PP woven fabric: Offers mechanical support and flexibility.
• Acrylic water-based adhesive: Serves as the core bonding layer, ensuring structural stability and durability.
Traditional water-based adhesives often struggle to adhere to non-polar plastics like PE and PP. The TEXYEAR 212 enhanced formulation provides excellent wetting and adhesion, ensuring stable bonding and reducing the risk of delamination.
2. Anti-Aging Properties More Important than Transparency
While transparency is not essential in high-reflective structures, acrylic water-based adhesives exhibit high resistance to yellowing and UV degradation, extending the service life of the materials—especially critical for roof systems exposed to intense sunlight and heat.
3. Superior Flexibility and Thermal Shrinkage Resistance
Building materials experience thermal expansion and contraction cycles. The flexibility of acrylic water-based adhesive helps absorb material displacement, maintaining interlayer integrity and preventing delamination or bubbling caused by mechanical stress or temperature fluctuations.
4. Excellent Water Resistance and Fire Retardancy
Roof and wall structures are prone to moisture exposure. Acrylic water-based adhesives offer good moisture resistance, preventing degradation in humid environments and significantly reducing film rupture or breakdown. Furthermore, TEXYEAR's modified 212 series has passed customer testing for:
o Flame spread
o Flame propagation rate
5. Eco-Friendly, Non-Toxic, and Low VOC
Free from organic solvents, acrylic water-based adhesives comply with domestic and international green building material standards. They are especially suitable for green homes, schools, offices, and other environments requiring high indoor air quality.
6. Good Processability and Heat Sealing Compatibility
Acrylic water-based adhesives are compatible with various coating methods (e.g., knife coating, roll coating) and can be processed under appropriate drying conditions. This provides high flexibility in production lines, improves efficiency, and reduces energy consumption.
With its balanced performance in adhesion, durability, waterproofing, environmental friendliness, and processability, acrylic water-based adhesive is gradually replacing solvent-based acrylics as the preferred adhesive for multi-layer thermal insulation films in buildings. It not only enhances the physical stability and longevity of the material but also aligns with modern architecture's goals of energy efficiency and sustainability.
As green building and net-zero carbon initiatives continue to grow globally, the role of acrylic water-based adhesives in building systems will only become more prominent.

Why Choose Acrylic Water-Based Adhesive Over Other Adhesives?
| Adhesive Type | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| Acrylic Water-Based | High transparency, weather resistance, low VOC, simple processing | Slightly less heat resistance than silicone |
| Silicone | Excellent heat resistance, high elasticity | Lower adhesion, higher cost, complex processing |
| Acrylic Solvent-Based | Strong adhesion, high stability | High VOC, not eco-friendly, pungent odor |
With its balanced performance in adhesion, durability, waterproofing, environmental friendliness, and processability, acrylic water-based adhesive is gradually replacing solvent-based acrylics as the preferred adhesive for multi-layer thermal insulation films in buildings.
