A strategic partnership of four technology companies has resulted in a closed-loop recycling model that is sparking new discussions around the role PET-based multilayer will play in tomorrow’s packaging industry.
When looking to save money on energy costs and align a coating/converting operation with the latest environmental impact classifications, companies should consider the benefits of in-line manufacturing of adhesives.
In times of rapidly increasing energy cost, and rolling blackouts and brownouts, energy input and waste disposal per product unit have become big concerns among manufacturers.
Offering reduced process times, higher throughput, lower rejection rates, and environment-friendly benefits, UV curing systems are helping to revolutionize lithium-ion battery manufacturing.
Electric vehicles (EV) and lithium-ion batteries are transforming transportation and energy storage sectors with higher efficiencies, zero emissions, reduced noise pollution, and low operating costs.
Using methods to create a differential release force by changing and modifying RCAs can help guide formulators when choosing systems and avoid potential issues in end-use applications.
Release control additives (RCAs) are used across multiple release coating chemistries and delivery options, from solventless thermal (platinum-catalyzed addition cure), emulsion, solvent, and UV curable technologies.
Inspired by examples of hierarchical structures improving the properties of soft materials, the authors have explored methods to apply these concepts to waterborne acrylic PSAs made by emulsion polymerization. In this work, they attempted to build a sacrificial bond network into a PSA through multistage emulsion polymerization.
