Solvent based adhesives

Laminates made with solvent-based adhesives covering the widest range of applications, fromgeneral purpose to high performance.

Main advantages are strong initial tack and final bond strength with good flexibility, and good

optical properties.

l   Good machinability

l   Large range of applications

l   Strong green tack enables fast onward processing

l   Use of traditional equipment

l   Well established technology

Solvent free adhesives

Solvent free adhesives have been formulated to remove the environmental impact of solvent

emissions, and to reduce costs.

The first formulations were sufficient only for general purpose applications, but new systems have evolved which are now able to cover a more extended range of applications.

Machine and films suppliers have made a big contribution to the use of solvent free adhesives

in terms of both performance and application.

l   High machine speeds

l   Cost-efficient

l   No solvent retention

l   No pollution

l   Reduced equipment cost
