Product Information

Non-structural adhesives are most useful where a temporary bond of low to medium strength is required. They add value in a number of applications: We can help you determine the best removable adhesive for your application. Give us a call today to get started. Determining the most appropriate removable adhesive depends mainly on the requirements for its usage, but also on other factors:

Removable adhesives are pressure-sensitive adhesives, which when it has been applied to a surface may be easily removed at a later date. The adhesive itself displays relatively low final adhesion. Although it adheres firmly to the substrate, it can be removed again for quite a long period of time. Ease of removal depends on the nature of the substrate, the conditions at the time of application and the environmental conditions during the service life of the label. Solvent-borne adhesives can be used for pressure sensitive applications and removed by heat or solvents. They have long open times and excellent initial strength, which is useful when assembling large or 3-dimensional products. Many application processes can be used in a wide temperature range. They do require vapor control and sometimes flammability controls. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

Removable sticker adhesive and finishes

If you require a label that is easy to remove, allowing your customer to take it off of your product without damaging it, you are in the right place! Glue dots are pre-extruded hot melt adhesives. They’re applied cold and provide a clean and instant bond. Glue dots are supplied on a silicone release – so are easy to remove without leaving any mess or residue. They’re also acid and odour free.

Water-borne adhesives offer several open times from short to indefinite and can be removed without chemical solvents. Their initial strength is moderate and drying times longer compared to solvent-based adhesives, but they have wide application temperature ranges. They must be protected from freezing. Glue dots can be a preferred alternative to hot glues, liquid glues, and tapes. They’re usually cleaner and easier to use, with no risk of burns. However, they still share some of the same limitations eg: The future of removable adhesives is our range of PurityWash adhesives which includes water wash off and caustic wash off adhesives. These maximise the recyclability of PP, PE, HDPE and PET bottles and containers as the adhesives wash off in the recycling process.
