Adhesion or “adhesive force” is the force required to remove a label from the surface on which it is bond. In order to measure this force, there are several types of tests that are carried out at various time intervals after application to surfaces of various materials.

An adhesive is a substance (coating) activated by pressure, heat or UV and is used to hold a film attached to a surface by adhering to the surfaces. Adhesive may also be referred to using the term „glue“. Adhesives can be classified into repositionable, standard and reinforced according to their tack.

Transfer Tape is a pressure-activated adhesive applied to a substrate. During application, the adhesive layer remains sticked to the surface and the backing is removed. Product groups are divided into narrow tapes for an applicator and tapes of arbitrary width and shape, that we produce on order in our production.
