Film extrusion: Pressure-sensitive adhesives tackle broad usage range
Three new pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) have been added to the range offered by this supplier, offering converters solutions to a broad array of package labeling. All of the new PSAs are supplied by Omnova Solutions (Fairlawn, OH), which develops and markets emulsion polymers, specialty chemicals, and decorative and functional surfaces. These PSAs are branded NovaCryl and are marketed to processors and converters of polyvinylchloride (PVC) film, tape, and labels.
