Frequently Asked Questions
 

Do you have a peelable grade suitable for a pressure jetting system?

We have a range of adhesives that are suitable for pressure jetting systems. Contact Us Grades made off natural rubber latex must not be used in pressure systems.

Recently my 'peelable' adhesive has been showing intermittent fibre tear on a promotional mail run. What has changed?

Peelable adhesives are very sensitive to changes in the surfaces they bond and to the amount applied. It is possible that the coat weight applied has increased over time. Alternatively the ink and or varnish on the paper may have changed, or may be variable. A minimum sized spot of adhesive and low absorbency paper is recommended.

I am using a weak substrate but still require a peelable bond. My current peelable adhesive is giving fibre tear.

We have a range of fugitive / peelable grades Contact Us, this means that it should be possible to obtain a peelable bond even on problem papers and boards.

I have noticed that the bond is failing. When I look at each surface after failure, I can see a white layer. What is happening?

Some papers have a clay coating to improve ink acceptance and general appearance. If the clay coating is thick and has been applied in several layers it is possible for this to split. So when the two surfaces are pulled apart, the failure is not in the adhesive layer but within the clay coat. You need an adhesive that will prevent coat stripping. Contact Us

I make lightweight paper leaflets and magazines. When I use coated paper the seam adhesive gives a very weak bond.

Coated papers require a slightly different adhesive to achieve good bond strength and Pafra have products for both requirements. Contact Us
