Robust New Micronax 300-01 Microsphere PSA Enhances the Coating Process

Franklin Adhesives & Polymers, a leading innovator of water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), has launched a new REACH-compliant microsphere PSA, Micronax 300-01.

Micronax 300-01 is developed for use with ultra-removable applications, such as removable labels, linerless labels and wall graphics. It offers greater mechanical stability and reduced foam, which improves the coating process.

Microsphere technology opens new possibilities for applications requiring removable PSAs.  The particle size of microsphere adhesives is much larger than traditional emulsion PSA.  Microsphere adhesives contain polymer particles between 10 microns to over 100 microns in water matrix. They excel in ultra-removable and repositionable applications, such as sticky notes and removable labels.  

Microsphere PSAs offer four key advantages over emulsion PSA technologies:

“We are thrilled to introduce Micronax 300-01 to the market.” said Zhaohui Sun, Vice President of Polymer Business. “This product embodies our commitment to innovation and compliance. In trials, our customers have given positive feedback regarding the product’s processability and consistent performance, offering invaluable validation of our product design.”

More information on Micronax 300-01 – and other high-performance removable, permanent and specialty PSAs for different surfaces – is available on franklinadhesivesandpolymers.com.
