Tapes and Labels
|
Several interesting mega-trends are becoming established in the Packaging industry. Many of these are in the area of pressure sensitive tapes and labels.
SBC-based adhesives, as non-pressure sensitive hot melt adhesives, meet easily the requirements of label and tape applications.

The examples below highlight how beneficial SBC can be in distinct formulation type.
 |
- Wide viscosity and cohesive strength control range
- Lower Tg adhesives for "cold" applications
- Fast tack development

- Similar adhesive performance
- 20% lower viscosity
- Faster coatability
- No other ingredients modifications needed
