As new paint technology comes on the market, manufacturers of painter’s tapes are developing more targeted adhesives and sealants that create clean lines while solving issues associated with masking rough or difficult-to-stick-to surfaces.
With options like exterior painter’s tape that works on self-cleaning paint and sealant technology that works with paint chemistry to prevent paint bleed, painters now have more specialized tape options to produce professional results under virtually any condition.
Improvements made to the processability of polyamide oligomers resulted in the discovery of a novel soft segment chemistry that is viable not just for waterborne coating application but for elastomers, adhesives, and possibly other urethane applications
Polyurethanes with tertiary polyamide segments have excellent abrasion resistance coupled with high hardness, good hydrolytic stability, improved barrier properties and strong adhesion to various polar substrates.
With the theme, “Building a Sustainable Future,” the conference will focus on key issues facing manufacturers and their suppliers and facilitate informal discussion and networking.
Executives in the adhesives and sealants industry will gather at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, October 23-25 for the Adhesive and Sealant Council’s Executive Leadership Conference.
Enhanced polyurethane solvent-free laminating adhesive systems facilitate the replacement of solvent-based adhesives, while addressing critical challenges of increasing usability.
October 6, 2023
Toyo-Morton estimates that CO2 emissions related to inks and laminating adhesives in packaging can be reduced up to 70% by substituting solvent-based products with solvent-free ones.
In industrial settings, where “lighter and smaller” is the name of the game and every ounce counts, adhesive joining techniques are increasingly serving as innovation drivers.
PSTC is introducing Industry Partner Presentations at this year’s Fall Member Business Meeting to bring important voices into the conversation around pressure-sensitive tapes.
When reviewing revisions to EU packaging and packaging waste regulation, innovative packaging that may not be covered by the design for recycling criteria should be allowed to prove recyclability through testing.
September 20, 2023
A strong regulation for EU legislation on packaging and packaging waste will harmonize packaging recycling requirements throughout Europe, lessen market barriers, and simplify the compliance work of economic operators.
Combining traditional tools like adhesive tapes and labels with modern app technology, two companies partnered to create a solution that is solving real and timely issues in a number of industries.
Scannable tapes and labels allow users to apply unique codes to materials and equipment and add digital information, including GPS locations, to the codes using a mobile app.
