Collano Safety Adhesives

Adhesives play a crucial role in the manufacture of document bags and the integration of security elements. For example, Collano safety adhesives offer comprehensive and surprising solutions in the following fields of application: smart cards, security and hologram labels, safety seals, as well as smart packaging and trademark protection. This also includes adhesive applications in the domain of concealed or encrypted security features.

Pressure sensitive dispersions

The Collano pressure sensitive dispersions are market-tested and set new standards for ease of removal from difficult surfaces and washing off, as well as water resistance. They lend themselves to high-performance tapes, specialty labels, security applications and adhesive tapes for air-tight constructions.

Eco-friendly tape adhesives

The generation of UV-curable pressure sensitive adhesives and the Collano DP water-based adhesives are solventless, low-odour and low-emissions products. They have very good aging and light resistance and are used for detachable and permanent adhesive tapes. They are also ideal for substrates with low surface energies. Thus, Collano adhesives offer solutions for high-performance adhesive tapes for the construction industry, hook-and-loop tapes, security pouches, food packaging, etc.

Open and close, open and close, open and close

Resealable food packaging imposes tough requirements on adhesives: outstanding opening and closing, compliance with food legislation on migration, and neutral odor and taste. Collano has served this market well for years with its rubber-based pressure sensitive hot melts, UV-curing acrylic adhesives and adhesive dispersions.
