Micorsphere Adhesives are Ultra-Removable; Permanently Repositionable
- September 07, 2010
Franklin Adhesives & Polymers introduces trio of microsphere adhesives, said to open new possibilities for adhesion in an array of industries. With the company’s Micronax microsphere adhesives, manufacturers can use them for applications ranging from product decorations, wall graphics, temporary signage and repositionable notes to arts and crafts and advertising pieces. Micronax microspheres also have been approved for FDA indirect food contact and can be screen-printed.
Featured alongside the Micronax technology is the division’s Acrynax line of acrylic polymer hot melt PSAs for permanent adhesion. The new Acrynax line provides an environmentally safe alternative to solvent-based products for diverse medical and industrial applications. It also is a cost-effective alternative to UV-curable pressure sensitive hot melts, adhesives.
The Acrynax adhesives exhibit good adhesion to a variety of materials, including polyester, glass, steel, aluminum, vinyl, fabric, non-wovens and paper. They are optically clear, skin-friendly and highly resistant to water, solvent, ultraviolet light and many plasticizers. Acrynax also can be used as a modifier of other adhesives, imparting the benefits of acrylic chemistry to these products.
