Abstract Adhesive–liner compatibility is becoming increasingly important as regulatory requirements and new PSA technologies raise expectations for performance, stability, and processing reliability. This article outlines how regulatory and technological developments increase complexity at the adhesive–liner interface and why flexibility […]
Thanks to their versatile properties, UV-cured hot melt adhesives offer innovative and sustainable solutions for a number of applications. In the medical field, they are characterized by high levels of chemical resistance and stability, while at the same time can […]
artimeltrepulpable is a hot melt adhesive solution that can be filtered out from paper pulp as a compact adhesive mass during the repulping process right at the start of recycling. The pulp is then suitable for the production of high-quality, […]
Based in Sursee in the canton of Lucerne, artimelt AG is well positioned when it comes to sustainability. In addition to upholding high ethical standards, this naturally also means considering products from an environmental perspective. Now, artimelt is setting new […]
The delicate skin of a newborn baby, the parchment-like epidermis found in the elderly, the vulnerability of an eyelid, the challenges of fixing a catheter in place, the care required when treating pressure sores – these are all situations in […]
The first patents describing the cross-linking of hot-melt adhesives with the aid of UV radiation were published in the 1980s – by which time solvent-based adhesives, aqueous dispersion adhesives and rubber-based hot-melt adhesives were already well established on the market. […]
The human skin is something we tend not to give much thought to, but even superficial studies shows it to be a complex and fascinating organ, in fact the largest organ! It is much more than just the location where […]
Similar to ordinary household adhesive tape, the adhesive layer on linerless labels lies directly on the underlying layer of paper or film without a non-adhesive intermediate layer (release liner). This brings a whole range of benefits: as well as simplified […]
UV-curing adhesives can now be used for a wide range of applications. Although originally developed to replace solvent-based adhesives, UV adhesives can do much more. Due to the artimelt base polymer formulations, removable adhesives and adhesives with a strong bond […]
A large number of medical products are packaged and sterilized, including plasters, medical tape, surgery drapes and ECG electrodes. All of these products use an adhesive. The packaging is also often closed or sealed with an adhesive. The adhesive must […]
