Cohesive, also called cold seal adhesive, is designed to stick only to itself. It is applied to each surface, then dried. The bond forms when the two dried surfaces contact.
We supply natural latex cohesives and synthetic latex cohesives. This family sits under water-based adhesive chemistry: 100% water-based, no VOCs, and can be custom formulated. Grades can be formulated for FDA food-contact and skin-contact; confirm the spec for the SKU.
Used for medical bandages, food packaging, medical packaging, paper converting, and product assembly. Formulated for low, medium, or very strong final bonds to porous and non-porous substrates: UV, clay coated and SBS papers, films, foils, woods, plastics, corrugated, coated board, vinyl. We can coat cohesives onto felts, films, liners, magnet, papers, plastics, and textiles.
