A fabric coating may look smooth after drying but develop cracks, whitening or peeling when the material is stretched or folded. In many cases, the problem comes from the balance between film hardness, adhesion and elasticity. The film is too hard A hard coating film can provide good surface strength, but it may not be flexible enough for stretch fabrics. When the fabric moves, the coating must mo...

- admin
When formulating a water-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive for labels, Tg is usually one of the first parameters we set. It indicates whether the dry adhesive film will behave relatively soft or firm at a given temperature and influences initial tack, peel adhesion, holding power, low-temperature performance and adhesive ooze. However, Tg alone does not determine whether an adhesive is sui...

When UV ink comes off during a tape test, the primer is often blamed first. However, poor adhesion can also result from the film surface, contamination, incomplete primer drying or incorrect UV curing. Here, “adhesion promoter” refers to a primer applied before printing. No single grade is suitable for every plastic film. Choose the Primer by Substrate PET and BOPET films often benefit from a prim...
