UPI.com reports on a University
of Wyoming research study
that suggests the sticky substance found in spider webs may lead to a new
generation of bio-based “green” adhesives.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are used in applications ranging from labeling food packaging to assembling electronic devices to mounting graphics displays. Although they have been around for decades and their use is widespread, manufacturers, converters, and printers may not understand the key differences between the adhesive choices available, how they’re constructed, or which are best suited for a particular job.
Innovation-based startup company Lumina Adhesives has developed a new technology platform of switchable pressure-sensitive adhesives called AdhelightTM that enables debonding on demand.
