Pulse Roll Label Products launches UV curable adhesive

Inks, coatings and adhesives manufacturer Pulse Roll Label Products Ltd has announced the development of TurboLam, a speciality formulated UV curable adhesive for laminating a wide range of substrates.

Sales manager Alan Day explained: ‘TurboLam gives superior bond strength for OPP laminating of paper, board and a wide range of plastic films. Insufficient bond strength can lead to product failure anywhere down the production and application chain. TurboLam is formulated to provide a strong bond with minimum lay-down of adhesive and with properties that maintain a high level of flexibility in the packaging material for onward processing.’

Managing director Gary Seward added: ‘The current market shortage of cationic adhesives is fuelling the sales of Turbolam, a free radical alternative that closely matches the bond strength of cationic technology. We are seeing customers successfully using Turbolam for many applications that typically used the more expensive cationic process.’

TurboLam is widely approved for the production of labels for milk and juice packaging where protection from scuffing and tearing during handling and transport are critical. Issues such as yellowing of the packaging that limit shelf life have also been addressed with the adhesive having been specially formulated to offer long-term protection against this type of ageing problem.

Pulse Roll Label Products Ltd has been supplying the label converting industry since 2000 and is part of the Pulse Group of companies. The company’s portfolio includes UV and water-based inks, coatings and adhesives, special effect inks, press room products and cleaning solutions.
