Development of new types of double-sided adhesives and technical materials based on new materials and formulations

• New insulate dieletric tape

Our goal was to include in our product range a product not yet available, to be used to insulate transformers, in the cables of engines, to coat cables, conductors, condensers, membrane switches and in all electrical devices requiring :

• Excellent electrical insulation
• Excellent tensile strength
• High thermal resistance

• New papers to be used for linerless creasing (embossed or not)

Our R&D developed a self-adhesive paper for perfect  binding  of copybooks, books, notes books and checkbooks.

• Double-sided adhesive linerless

The objective of this experimental activity has been  to develop  an adhesive product to be considered as alternative to standard double-sided adhesives.

Its main quality is to be linerless (so you don’t need to remove the liner after applying the product)   and it is  mostly used on walls, in order to capture fine dust and other volatile materials ( as for example in paint booths).

2018

Development of 4 new products:

N. 1 Double-sided adhesive for joints Paper

Highly adhesive, solventless product with fast cross-linking, characterized by high adhesive performance to ensure a minimum use of adhesive, and consequently reduce waste and related residue removal operations.
Product developed for the paper/papermaking/printing sector.

N. 2 Duplex darkened for promotional billboards double use

Multilayer laminated.
It speeds up the production of advertising boards, makes the panel ready / reusable with the second image ready for use, but obscured by a black pigmented sticker.
Product for the advertising sector.

N. 3 Transfers

After positioning the figure on a paper, with a ballpoint pen writing by pressing on the image we will have the transfer.
The project is considered as innovative for the sector for the development of a process based on rotary printing, similar products exist on the market, but are made using silk-screen printing process at higher prices.
Product for the promotional sector.

N. 4 Anti-bubble embossing for window stickers

If you take a transparent adhesive film and want to apply it on a window, you will see a large number of anti-aesthetic air bubbles.
To overcome this problem, a special embossing method has been studied to be implemented during printing stages of the window stickers to create imperceptible channels through which the excess air can flow out during the laying phase.
Window stickers made in siliconized and embossed PET.
Product for the promotional/advertising sector.

2019

Project 1 – Study and experimentation activities in favour of an innovative low-relief holographic engraving system on Aluminium

It is a matter of creating an engraving system able to produce holographic images on aluminium foil by engraving in low-relief.

This project was born to combat counterfeiting in the food sector (but it is also aimed at other sectors) and represents a worldwide innovation, in fact no similar solutions are known, the existing solutions involve the creation of holographic images by printing (on aluminium or on plastic film).

The project is developed with a partner company, Italgraf will take care of its industrialization and will market the product exclusively on the Italian and European market, the partner will cover the rest of the world.

Project 2 – Development of new technological solutions for the realization of 2 innovative products/processes of the proposal to the market

• New ways of impregnating TNT with laundry detergent

Washing detergent is made available in a new version in the form of a non-woven fabric rag, for a more practical and ecological use by the consumer.

A modified coating system is used to impregnate the non-woven fabric on one side only with a laundry detergent in an established and reproducible dosage.

• New combination of materials to obtain a seal of guarantee

We are developing a multilayer laminate with aluminium, polypropylene film and thick paper that can be die-cut, thermally bonded and separated by mechanical action, suitable for the creation of a sealing system to be applied to bottle caps that acts both as a guarantee seal and as a gasket.

2020

Study and experimentation activities in favour of new product configurations

1. Replacement of solvent-based products by products with a solvent-free base of another nature to reduce the impact on the environment.

• New solventless dielectric tape – tape used as an insulator for electrical discharges
• New Non-slip walkable fabric – Semi-rigid, high roughness, printable fabric used as an anti-slip advertising material.

The results achieved: regarding the dielectric tape, to completely eliminate the risks associated with emissions and static electricity, while also significantly reducing the cost of the release agent, and concerning the fabric, to only emit fumes containing water vapour into the atmosphere and to have obtained certification of a higher anti-slip class (R11).

2. Mito Mask – PPE Mask

We have developed and produced a reusable, low-cost, functional and comfortable to wear personal protection mask, made of 98% recyclable products, with a hypoallergenic and washable medical PVC frame and interchangeable small-size non-woven filters.
