Switching from solvent-based to water-based adhesives
Changing from solvent-based to water-based adhesives (WBAs) can be a cost-neutral solution with real and lasting benefits. It can be cost-effective, improve working conditions and reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.
SATRA has developed a water-based adhesive consultation service to offer manufacturers and brand owners an in-country service to move production lines to WBAs.
Do you have something a little unusual that needs testing or verifying?
If you are developing a novel product or material and need testing that doesn’t quite fall within the remit of any existing standards or guidelines, contact SATRA’s Innovation team to discuss bespoke testing or any technical aspects of your product’s performance.
