Product Information

We can help you determine the best removable adhesive for your application. Give us a call today to get started. Peel & reseal – our adhesive solutions allow the material to retain its adhesion strength no matter how many times it is reapplied. Hot-melt adhesives are 100 % solid, so no solvent is required for application, only heat. These come in a wide variety of formulations that offer short to indefinite open times. Initial bond strength is controlled by temperature of the adhesive and substrate. They have high water-resistance, so solvents must be used for removal. Their material cost lies between solvent and water-based adhesives

Wide Web Slitting The most cost-effective slitting method. Pro Tapes® has eleven wide web slitters. 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.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. Determining the most appropriate removable adhesive depends mainly on the requirements for its usage, but also on other factors: Why not try a custom shape label? Perfect for adding personality to your products, a custom shape can elevate your design and mirror your branding so that it's cohesive across your product range.

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.

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.

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. Examples of Removable Adhesives in Applications For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. 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: Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. Often, removable adhesives are used for positioning parts to be bonded by other means. High creep, low resistance to temperature or solvents, all characteristics detrimental in a structural adhesive, are desirable when the adhesive is used as a positioning aid during product assembly. Open time and initial bond must also be considered. Three types of elastomer adhesives offer different properties for removable bonds:
