New Plant-based Hot Melt Tape & Label Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
A new line of bio-based PSA adhesives is available to tape and label manufacturers, certified by the USDA as Biopreferred. The new adhesives from Biobond are odorless and contain zero microplastics, and are free of PFAS, according to the company.
According to Greg Piche, vice president, “The BioMelt™ PSA line joins the company’s recently introduced BioMelt™ hot melt for packaging. BioMelt™ is our third product segment that is made from plant-based components, is certified as USDA Biopreferred with no odors and zero microplastics, and is PFAS free”.
“With excellent performance and very competitive pricing, we’re introducing a game-changer that will have an immediate and significant impact on the industry,” said Brad Boelkins, vice president of business development.
Dr. Clayton Westerman, BioBond’s chief science officer said, “The development of high-performing, cost-effective, and sustainable biobased products that meet industry demands is challenging. BioBond plans to expand its biobased hot melt portfolio for packaging and now pressure sensitive adhesives with future products featuring faster curing times and higher biobased content.
