An announcement from Henkel regarding a new PSA facility drew the most reader interest last week (Henkel Adhesive Technologies to Expand UV Capabilities with New Facility in North Carolina): “Henkel Adhesive Technologies recently announced that it has broken ground on a new state-of-the-art production area for UV-curable acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) at its site in Salisbury, N.C. The new facility is expected to be operational by the end of 2021. Henkel reports that the expansion of its existing site broadens the company’s capabilities to provide more sustainable and innovative PSA solutions to the tape, label, medical, and graphic films markets.

“‘Henkel’s solvent-free, UV PSA line enables broader industry use of acrylic-based adhesives,’ said Brian McSwigan, vice president of Business Development. ‘Combining the ease of use of a traditional rubber-based hot melt with the enhanced performance of acrylic polymers represents not only a step-change in innovation but demonstrates Henkel’s continued commitment to sustainability.’”
