Nastroelle offers a wide range of solutions for various sectors, including the fashion, leather goods and nautical sectors, which are designed for different types of industrial application. Now with an extra eye on sustainability.
The sustainability issue is increasingly at the centre of every debate. A concept that is not at all simple to understand in its breadth and complexity. In a nutshell, it could be defined as the search for a well-being capable of harmonising economic growth, social respect and care for the environment.
Principles that often clash with the research and presentation of new technologies in various industry sectors. In the case of the world of double-sided adhesives, conflict arises when the new products are in any case obtained from solvent-based adhesives, an element that is rather unfavourable to the care for people and the environment.
Nastroelle has sought and found a solution to resolve the conflict and launches a new range of solvent-free double-sided adhesives developed with UV technology in the coating phase with low environmental impact.
The peculiar features of this solution allow the tapes to be hypoallergenic even when they come into direct contact with the skin. In addition, the adhesive, consisting of a pure acrylic copolymer, is permanent and has high performance. Finally, the tests have shown excellent resistance levels to aging, thermal performance, water and humidity.
