What are the applications of water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives?

Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are widely used in various fields due to their environmental friendliness, strong adhesion, and rapid drying properties. Specific application scenarios are as follows:

I. Everyday Consumer Goods Sector

Labels and Stickers: Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are widely used in the production of self-adhesive labels, sticky notes, decorative stickers, vehicle stickers, and other products. They possess strong initial tack and moderate peel strength, meeting the adhesion needs of various surface materials. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly and non-toxic, meeting modern health and safety standards for consumer products.

Beauty and Personal Care: Some water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are synthesized through special processes, possessing skin-friendly properties to prevent allergic reactions. They are used in applications such as false eyelash glue, temporary tattoos, and medical patches. For example, the adhesive for false eyelash replacement systems, through optimized formulation, achieves rapid tack, strong adhesion, and easy removal.

KL-192 water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive is a water-based emulsion with strong plasticity and adhesion, formed by emulsion polymerization of PVA as a protective colloid and ethylene monomers. It exhibits excellent heat resistance and storage stability.

KL-192 water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive has a wide range of applications and is non-toxic with no adverse effects on the skin.

II. Healthcare Sector

Medical Tapes and Dressings: Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are used in the production of medical products such as wound dressings, surgical dressings, and other similar products. Their low allergenicity, breathability, and excellent adhesion ensure safe application on the skin while meeting the hygiene and comfort requirements of medical settings.

Special Medical Applications: Some water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives, through modification, possess water resistance and UV resistance, making them suitable for home bathroom window stickers, outdoor advertising stickers, and other applications, further expanding their scope of use in the medical field.

III. Industrial Manufacturing Sector

Industrial Tapes: Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are the core material for producing various pressure-sensitive tapes, including transparent tapes, BOPP film tapes, cloth tapes, double-sided tapes, foam tapes, sealing tapes, masking tapes, and high-temperature resistant tapes. Their high peel strength and aging resistance meet the demands for long-lasting adhesion in industrial production.

Material Composites and Packaging: Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are used in PVC composite decorative materials, gift box packaging, high-end crafts processing, and specialty paper lamination. Their high solids content and rapid drying characteristics improve production efficiency, while their environmental performance meets the requirements of modern industry for sustainable development.

Electronics and Automotive Industries: Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are used for fixing electronic components, bonding automotive interior parts (such as headliners and door panels), and as adhesives for noise-reducing foam in wire harnesses. Their temperature resistance and impact resistance ensure the stability of the adhesive in complex environments.

IV. Special Materials and Processes

Plastic Film Bonding: Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are suitable for bonding materials such as PE, PP, PVC, and polyester films, meeting the needs of plastic packaging and composite material production.

Foam and Non-woven Fabric Processing: Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are used for foam coating, functional tape production, and self-adhesive processing of substrates such as non-woven fabrics and nylon fabrics, expanding the application range of flexible materials.

Screen printing: Water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive combined with screen printing technology is used to produce water-resistant labels, decorative advertising stickers, and other products. Its low surface tension and good adhesion ensure the clarity and durability of the printed images.
