People just love beautiful things, and it is our job in the adhesive industry to provide manufacturers with aesthetically pleasing adhesives. None so more vital than in the world of POS (point of sale) display items – this can include things such as display cases, racks, menu stands, literature stands, signs, etc… Because the construction materials are normally clear plastic, such as acrylic or polycarbonate (often referred to by their tradenames, Perspex® and Plexiglas®), the adhesive ideally needs to be clear and preferably invisible to make the finished item look good.
Therefore, as our mothers have probably told us, it is what is on the inside that counts, and don’t get too hung up on looks. However, it is possible to have an adhesive combining the best of both worlds – perfect aesthetics on the outside and a high bond strength and excellent durability on the inside. Moreover, the added benefit of being process-friendly for a busy production line.
So what are these super-duper all singing all dancing products?
