Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE: CYT), recently held a comprehensive seminar and demonstration of its UV-curable Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) to introduce the product portfolio to Asia-Pacific tape manufacturers. Over 130 customers from the region attended the event that was held on June 30th in Shanghai, China. The event included technical and industry presentations about UV-cure technology, talks by industry experts and a live coating demonstration giving attendees a rare opportunity to learn about the entire UV PSA manufacturing process.
Cytec’s UV PSA products deliver one of the most important technology improvements available to high performance tape coaters in a long time — a 100% solid product with solvent-based-plus performance and the coating and manufacturing economies of a hot melt coating line (i.e., fast speed, thick deposition in one pass and lower cost-in-use). Targeted applications include high performance industrial tapes, automotive instrument panel and membrane switch assemblies, nameplates and foam tapes. Cytec’s UV PSA product portfolio includes GELVA® GMR 8103-01 and GELVA® GMR 8020-02 and is a key component of the Cytec Engineered Materials’ High Performance Industrial Materials portfolio.
Cytec is now introducing the newest member of the UV PSA product portfolio, GMR 8103-01, to the US and European markets. This new product provides exceptional adhesion to both low- and high-energy surfaces and delivers excellent sheer performance and die-cut-ability. GMR 8103-01 will enable US and European tape manufacturers to enter and be competitive in the low-surface-energy (LSE) tape markets surpassing typical tackified solvent-based PSA products.
GMR 8103-01 is specially formulated to bond with LSE substrates. Its performance and cost make it a superior choice for emerging and non-traditional LSE applications. GMR 8103-01 coats well on standard hot-melt coating equipment for both wide web and narrow web applications. With this addition to the GMR product portfolio, any application requiring bonding from a low-surface-energy material to a high-surface-energy substrate can be achieved without sacrificing performance.
Customers can get additional information about GMR 8103-01 and Cytec’s complete line of GELVA pressure sensitive adhesives from their local Cytec Engineered Materials representative or from Cytec Global Product Referral at custinfo@cytec.com.
