These adhesives get their name due to the fact that their polymer grains dissolve in solvent. Typically these adhesives do not adhere well to LSE substrates, but do exhibit better property retention than rubber under a number of circumstances. Advantages of solvent-based adhesives are their strength. They provide superior shear and peel strength to water-based adhesives. Solvent-based tapes tend to have better film formation, and have higher moisture resistance than water-based adhesives.
