Adhesives converted for flexible packaging
Adhesive conversion solutions and components meet specific application needs of flexible packaging manufacturers and converters.
The unique viscoelastic nature of the VHB high acrylic foam makes it different from other foam types, such as polyethylene, equipping these tapes with energy absorbing and stress relaxing properties.
M + C Specialties' unique converting abilities can customize the specific design of these VHB tapes for an exceptionally durable, precise fit.
3M VHB transportation tapes are primarily for use on finely abraded substances or surfaces treated with adhesion promoter, and provide excellent adhesion to a range of materials and surfaces that are common in the commercial vehicle industry, such as bare aluminum, bare steel, galvanized steel, painted aluminum panels and fiberglass reinforced plastics panels.
The thicker 3M VHB Commercial Vehicle Tape 4956F is typically used for panel to post attachment, while the thinner, 3M VHB Tape 4941F is ideal for panel to panel attachment at an overlap seam.
M + C Specialties can accommodate all its customer's needs, with customized rolls and precision die-cutting, and when applicable, an innovative spooling technique.
The use of spooling during the adhesive application manufacturing process decreases line stoppage during the change of tape rolls, resulting in increased product efficiency.
