Cytec Expands Launch of High
Performance UV Pressure Sensitive Adhesives into Asian Tape
Market
Tempe, Ariz. June 10, 2010 – Cytec Engineered Materials, a
business unit of Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE: CYT), is expanding
its launch of new GELVA® Multipolymer Radiation (GMR)
UV curable pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) into Asia to meet
the regions’ emerging need for UV curable PSAs with exceptional
adhesive characteristics to both low- and high-energy surfaces.
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
one-pass deposition, lower cost-in-use). Targeted applications
include high performance industrial tapes, automotive instrument
panel and membrane switch assemblies, nameplates and foam tapes.
Cytec’s First Generation UV PSA product portfolio includes GMR
8103 and GMR 8020 and is a key component of the Cytec Engineered
Materials’ High Performance Industrial Materials portfolio.
These products will enable Asian tape manufacturers to enter and
be competitive in markets where typical solvent-based PSA
products are not practical.
GMR 8103 is specially formulated to bond with low-surface-energy
(LSE) substrates. GMR 8103’s balance of performance and cost
makes it a superior choice for emerging and non-traditional LSE
applications. GMR 8020’s high-performance and versatile surface
adhesion makes it suitable for applications that were previously
out of reach with standard PSA products. Both GMR products coat
well on standard hot-melt coating equipment for both wide web
and narrow web applications. With these GMR products, any
application requiring bonding from a low-surface-energy material
to a high-surface-energy substrate can be achieved without
sacrificing performance.
Cytec Engineered Materials is holding a comprehensive seminar
and demonstration, specifically designed to support customers
within the Asian marketplace, on 30 June 2010 in Shanghai,
China. It will feature technical and industry presentations
about this exciting new technology, talks by industry experts
and a live coating demonstration. This will be a rare
opportunity to learn about the entire PSA manufacturing process.
