H.B. Fuller, a leading adhesives company, will be showcasing at Labelexpo Europe 2023 in Brussels, from September 11-14. Below is a preview of several labeling adhesives visitors will have the opportunity to explore at Hall 6 Booth 6D11 around sealing, seaming, and repairing for enhanced sustainability:
- Swift®tak PS 8405, the ultimate water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) with non-water whitening properties. Designed for those seeking a premium PET label with a no-label look, this water-based PSA offers remarkable benefits, like boasting high resistance to water whitening to help labels maintain their appearance, even in challenging environments and temperatures. This adhesive delivers superior performance with excellent clarity and optimized peel, tack, and durability properties. It is also ideal for applications where aesthetics matter, as Swift®tak PS 8405 offers a blend of functionality and ‘no look’ transparency.
- Ultra-removable and highly repositionable Gel-Tac™ products based on water-based acrylic, pressure-sensitive microsphere technology. Imagine labels that can be effortlessly removed without leaving visible residue, markings, or damage. With H.B. Fuller Gel-Tac™ microsphere adhesives ready-to-go formulation, photo albums, consumer advertising, masking tapes, wall or window decals, graphics, wallpapers, liner-less labels, and tape constructions can be easily repositioned or replaced.
- Earthic™ portfolio, our recently launched sustainable product brand for many packaging applications. Swift®melt Earthic™9010E is our circular hot melt PSA for labels that is a near zero CO₂* pressure-sensitive adhesive that helps lower overall CO2 operations impact while responding to the demanding packaging requirements. The product offers excellent performance on a wide range of substrates and excellent adhesion at low temperatures, and it is based on 80% fossil-free adhesive. Final calculations (*) are still being validated, but we can discuss further if you are interested in knowing more.
These products and innovations allow customers to deliver design innovation and product performance, differentiate brand and accelerate manufacturing. H.B. Fuller customization capabilities make it possible to address both business needs and industry requirements toward a more circular economy.
