Introducing Four Removable PSAs for Labels and Graphics Applications

Franklin Adhesives & Polymers, a leading innovator of water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), proudly announces the launch of a family of REACH-compliant emulsion removable PSAs with customizable performance balance.

Removable PSAs allow short-term bonding while offering the ability to be easily removed without leaving residue or damaging the surfaces – such as paper, plastics, glass, metal and painted surfaces.  These PSAs are widely used in removable labels, signage and graphics, as well as removable tape applications.  Water-based PSAs have gained popularity compared to solvent-based PSAs due to their environmental benefits and the reduced total applied cost.

“We are excited to introduce this family of REACH-compliant emulsion removable PSAs.” said Zhaohui Sun, Vice President of Polymer Business. “The new additions to our removable product line show our commitment to innovation, customization and compliance.  We designed a removable technology platform, which can be easily customized to different performance balances.  This approach allows Franklin team to work closely with our customers and design the products for their specific applications and processes.”

Below is a summary table of the new emulsion removable PSAs.

More information on our Covinax product line – and other high-performance removable, permanent and specialty PSAs for different surfaces – is available on franklinadhesivesandpolymers.com.
