Transitioning to Solvent-Free Adhesives: A Practical Guide for Industrial Applications

What Makes These Adhesives Different?

Whether your needs focus on clean removability, high bond strength, or processing efficiency, our solvent-free portfolio is designed to deliver consistent performance without solvent carriers or elevated VOCs.

Solvent-Free UV Acrylics

• 100% solvent-free from formulation to application
• UV-cured instantly, with high tack and clean removability (e.g., FT 73312)
• Outstanding resistance to environmental stress and repulsion, ideal for panel mounting (FT 77400)
• Available in precision transfer tape formats (e.g., FT 21502)

Advanced Acrylics Technology

• High-shear, durable bonding without solvents
• VOC-optimized for closed environments such as electronics or automotive interiors
• Strong adhesion across diverse substrates (e.g., FT 21301, FT 21305, FT 77100)
• Custom-engineered options for unique design needs (e.g., FT 21905, FT 21902)

Sustainability You Can Measure

Our patented technologies deliver measurable impact across your value chain. They reduce CO₂ emissions during production and coating by 10–30%, cut water usage in UV adhesive processing by 50%, and offer exceptionally low VOC levels, making them ideal for closed-environment applications like automotive interiors or electronics. With no solvent residue, these adhesives also simplify end-of-life recycling and support circular design principles. Together, these innovations not only advance your ESG goals but also help ensure regulatory readiness as sustainability standards continue to evolve.

Strategic Value: A Smarter Business Decision

Solvent-free adhesive technologies represent more than a sustainability upgrade; they are a strategic choice for the future. By mitigating regulatory risk as global legislation tightens, future-proofing product lines with next-generation materials, and strengthening customer trust, these solutions create long-term value. Their technical performance is equally compelling, with strong resistance to solvents, chemicals, and UV exposure; service temperatures ranging from –40°C to +200°C; excellent die-cutting and converting performance; and high initial tack that accelerates processing and throughput.
